Simply Worded Philosophy

Simply Worded Philosophy is a learning tool for individuals interested in philosophy. Some of the texts, especially the older ones, can be difficult to understand. Here I attempt to provide a basic framework from which the texts can be read with greater comprehension. I welcome all comments, criticism, and suggestions. Any feedback you provide can be used to make this a more useful tool. I also would like to extend an invitation to anyone interested in contributing. I would be happy to have people skilled in web page design, as well as individuals to summarize texts. Please email me and let me know how you would like to contribute. The main text I use is titled Today’s Moral Issues: Classic and Contemporary Perspectives by Daniel Bonevac, Ph.D.

Today’s Moral Issues: Classic and Contemporary Perspectives can be purchased online at Amazon, and McGraw-Hills.
