Writing Philosophy: A Student's Guide to Reading and Writing Philosophy Essays
by Lewis VaughnThis second edition of Writing Philosophy, aspires to help philosophy teachers address a big problem--the conflict between trying to teach course content and dealing with students who are ill prepared to write papers on that content.
