N2  - Philosophy in Practice is a completely new kind of introductory philosophy textbook, focusing on philosophy as an activity, rather than as a doctrine. This is a thoroughly revised edition of a popular introductory philosophy textbook. It contains new discussions of philosophy of religion, freedom, The Matrix, and the epistemology of the internet. It offers a wealth of pedagogical features to guide students through the text, including discussion plans at the beginning of each section, questions, chapter summaries, annotated guides to further reading, and a glossary. Classic passages from the history of philosophy are used throughout the book, and each part ends with a one-page historical summary. This book includes an on-line teacher's guide with teaching suggestions, tests, and essay topics
