"This is a superb book - far and away the best general introduction to analytic philosophy on the market today. The selection of topics is perfect for a first course in philosophy, the depth of coverage is just right, and the writing is lively and crystal clear. Stich and Donaldson have really hit it out of the park."
- Philip Robbins, Associate Professor of Philosophy, University of Missouri
"Stich and Donaldson's Philosophy is an excellent book; it is the best introduction to philosophy I know of, as clear as Nagel's What Does it All Mean? and Blackburn's Think while also offering more coverage and depth. Among its many strengths are its perspicuous reconstructions of famous philosophical arguments, sensitivity to how arguments have changed over time in response to philosophical criticism, and its supplementary resources, including detailed PowerPoints, excellent discussion/reading comprehension questions, and end-of-chapter glossaries."
- David Svolba, Associate Professor, Fitchburg State University
"I love this book: it is extremely clear, full of examples from philosophical papers as well as from everyday life, so that the students can easier connect with difficult and abstract material. The topics are not watered down and oversimplified, so they are accessible to both the beginner and the advanced student."
- Valia Allori, Associate Professor, Philosophy Northern Illinois University
