Reviews for Philosophical Dilemmas: A Pro and Con Introduction to the Major Questions and Philosophers
Washburn's style is clear, concise, engaging, and fair. He is able to defend both pro and con positions so well that you cannot judge a bias or personal preference. This is commendable, since both sides are argued passionately and accurately. I have found no comparable or superior text.
