This autumn, as we celebrate 30 years in publishing, Broadview presents narratives
determined to shape new political and literary landscapes. Here you will find riveting
stories of moral and physical decay, feminist rebellion, and sensational crime. This
season’s offerings once again demonstrate our commitment to works that engage
crucial questions, particularly those that query the role of language in shaping identity.
With this exceptional front list, we offer stories that both entertain us and deepen our
social consciousness.
Our forthcoming Broadview Editions are a daring group of fin de siècle and
Edwardian narratives that challenge nineteenth-century values. Mark Twain’s
Pudd’nhead Wilson is a humorous unsettling of contemporary views of race, disability,
and immigration; while Frank Norris’s Vandover and the Brute explores
unconventional sexuality, moral dissolution, and physical degeneration in 1890s
San Francisco. H.G. Wells’s Ann Veronica captures changing possibilities for women
as the heroine strives to live independently in London. Women’s rights, particularly
the right to divorce, are powerfully presented in Bernard Shaw’s The Philanderer,
a “play unpleasant” that reveals the destructive impact of Victorian marriage laws. In
L.T. Meade’s The Sorceress of the Strand, women are powerful, clever criminals: gang
leaders, spies, and terrorists. Editions of works by Thomas Deloney, Ignatius Sancho,
William Wordsworth, E. Pauline Johnson, and Margaret Marshall Saunders further
enrich this season’s range of voices seeking to articulate new identities.
In English Studies, we continue to respond to the needs of students and instructors in
the classroom. A new edition of Broadview’s esteemed Guide to Writing is forthcoming,
as is Academic Writing, Real World Topics: an anthology that introduces students
to the world of research and writing across the curriculum. The unique Introduction
to Indigenous Literary Criticism in Canada promises to fill a much-needed place in
Canadian literature studies. We are also publishing a much-anticipated One-Volume
Compact Edition of The Broadview Anthology of British Literature.
In Philosophy, we are entering the field of editions in classical philosophy for the first
time with a superb translation of Plato’s Defense of Socrates and Related Dialogues.
These early Platonic dialogues contain some of the most fascinating arguments in
Western philosophy. Kant’s On Perpetual Peace is also forthcoming, with its muchneeded vision of a world respectful of human rights and united in a federation of
diverse peoples. New textbooks in philosophy include a second edition of Is that a Fact?,
the much-anticipated Theory and Practice of Experimental Philosophy, and
Introducing Philosophy: Knowledge and Reality. In applied ethics, we have Business
Ethics: An Interactive Introduction, an accessible text connecting ethical theory to
business practice.
Broadview’s fall list exemplifies the vision that has distinguished Broadview from the
beginning: a dedication to publishing works that challenge the canon and enrich our
sense of literary possibility. Join us in celebrating 30 years of great books from
Broadview Press!

“Now at last there is a definitive edition of Beautiful Joe. I anticipate teaching it
with great pleasure, right alongside Black Beauty, where the ‘living voice’ of the
mutilated, loving dog and the ill-used, faithful horse will indeed be beautiful.”
– Deborah Denenholz Morse, co-editor of Victorian Animal Dreams
One of the first animal viewpoint novels published in North America, Margaret
Marshall Saunders’s Beautiful Joe tells the story of an abused dog and his rescue
by a humane family. The novel, based on the true story of a dog in the author’s
home province of Ontario, fuelled humane sentiments worldwide. This annotated,
illustrated edition draws on archival collections to trace the novel’s impact on
the nineteenth-century animal protection movement. The introduction also
highlights some of the important social issues surrounding the substantive
revisions and omissions in ensuing editions of the text.

H.G. Wells’s scandalous novel of feminist rebellion is now
available in a Broadview Edition.
H.G. Wells’s 1909 novel centres on the coming of age of the spirited Ann Veronica,
who defies her father by fleeing their suburban home to live independently in
London. There she mingles with feminists, studies biology, learns jiu jitsu, and
even participates in a suffragette raid on the House of Commons, which lands her in
jail. The novel was a success in part because of its transparently autobiographical
dimension: the married celebrity author based the novel’s central romance
on his affair with Amber Reeves, the daughter of two prominent Fabians. The
National Social Purity Crusade pressured libraries not to circulate Ann Veronica,
prompting Wells to regard himself as a “symbol against the authoritative, the dull,
the presumptuously established, against all that is hateful and hostile to youth
and tomorrow.” The novel absorbs readers as fully today as it did a hundred years
ago; Ann Veronica’s engagement with socialists and suffragettes resonates with
our own era’s renewed involvement in social and political protest movements such
as Occupy Wall Street.
Historical documents expand on the novel’s autobiographical dimension with
letters between Wells and Amber Reeves. Materials on the suffrage movement,
on attempts to censor the novel, and on domesticity are also included.
H.G. Wells (1866-1946) was a prolific British writer best known for his science
fiction novels.

E. Pauline Johnson’s writings on Indigenous issues and
identity are gathered for the first time in this new collection.
E. Pauline Johnson, also known as Tekahionwake, is remarkable as one of a very
few early North American Indigenous poets and fiction writers. Most Indigenous
writers of her time were men educated for the ministry who published religious,
anthropological, autobiographical, political, and historical works, rather than
poetry and fiction. More extraordinary still, she became both a canonical poet
and a literary celebrity, performing on stage for fifteen years across Canada, in
the US, and in London. Johnson is now seen as a central figure in the intellectual
history of Canada and the United States, and as an important historical example of
Indigenous feminism. This edition collects a diverse range of Johnson’s writings
on what was then called “the Indian question” and on the question of her own
complex Indigenous identity.
Six thematic sections gather Johnson’s poetry, fiction, and non-fiction, and a rich
selection of historical appendices provide context for her public life and her work
as a feminist and activist for Indigenous people.
E. Pauline Johnson/Tekahionwake (1861-1913) was a Canadian poet, fiction
writer, journalist, and actor.

Previously out of print, these sensational late-Victorian
stories feature powerful criminal women.
In 1898, The Strand Magazine, one of the most influential publications of the
Victorian fin de siècle, deemed best-selling author and editor L.T. Meade a literary
“celebrity” and “one of the most industrious writers of modern fiction.” Beginning
in 1893 and continuing into the first decade of the twentieth century, Meade’s
medical mysteries and thrilling tales of dangerous criminal women appeared in
the Strand. There they competed successfully not only with Arthur Conan Doyle’s
Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, but also with the works of some of the most popular
writers of the day. The Sorceress of the Strand is one of Meade’s most compelling
mysteries, and the first to feature the seductive criminal genius Madame Sara.
The Sorceress of the Strand is accompanied in this edition by three other popular
stories featuring powerful female criminal protagonists, from gang leaders to
spies and terrorists. The historical appendices expand on the stories’ themes of
criminality, gender, and political activism.
L.T. Meade (1844-1914) was a prolific Irish-born author of popular fiction.

These funny, unsettling, and surprisingly modern tales are
among Mark Twain’s most important works.
The two narratives published together in The Tragedy of Pudd’nhead Wilson
and the Comedy of Those Extraordinary Twins are overflowing with spectacular
events. Twain shows us conjoined twins, babies exchanged in the cradle, acts of
cross-dressing and racial masquerade, duels, a lynching, and a murder mystery.
Pudd’nhead Wilson tells the story of babies, one of mixed race and the other white,
exchanged in their cradles, while Those Extraordinary Twins is a farcical tale
of conjoined twins. Although the stories were long viewed as flawed narratives,
their very incongruities offer a fascinating portrait of key issues—race, disability,
and immigration—facing the United States in the final decades of the nineteenth
century.
Hsuan Hsu’s introduction traces the history of literary critics’ response to
these works, from the confusion of Twain’s contemporaries to the keen interest
of current scholars. Extensive historical appendices provide contemporary
materials on race discourse, legal contexts, and the composition and initial
reception of the texts.
Mark Twain is the pen name of Samuel L. Clemens (1835-1910), an American
author and humorist. He is perhaps best known for his novels The Adventures of
Tom Sawyer and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
Hsuan L. Hsu is Associate Professor of English at the University of California,

Rejected by nineteenth-century publishers for its sordid and
shocking subject matter, Vandover and the Brute is a powerful
novel of turn-of-the-century San Francisco.
Written circa 1894-95 but published posthumously in 1914, Frank Norris’s Vandover
and the Brute presents an unflinching portrait of unconventional sexuality, moral
dissolution, and physical degeneration. In the setting of turn-of-the-century
San Francisco, disaster encompasses far more than the vivid accounts of
shipwreck or earthquake that appear in the novel. The slow wasting away of
characters who contract syphilis, the suicide of a young girl, and the murder of a
man clinging to a lifeboat fascinate readers today as much as they did a century
ago, when this scandalous novel was first published. The most complete wreck is
Vandover himself, whose artistic talents and constitution collapse after orgies of
drink and sexual abandon.
Russ Castronovo’s new edition gathers historical materials on literary naturalism,
gender and criminality, and the visual culture of the late nineteenth century.
Frank Norris (1870-1902) was an American novelist and journalist.

work of Ignatius Sancho in this new edition of Sancho’s
famous Letters.
“Vincent Carretta’s Broadview edition of Ignatius Sancho’s letters revises and
expands his earlier editions of this important eighteenth-century Black British
text. Bringing together both the published and the recently discovered unpublished
letters, along with meticulous footnotes, a wealth of scholarly and contextual
material, and an illuminating introduction, Carretta allows us to see Sancho
more vividly than ever before. But at the heart of this edition are the letters
themselves: sparkling, witty, and endlessly readable, they remain a fascinating
insight into the life of an African at the heart of eighteenth-century literary
London.” – Brycchan Carey, Kingston University
A contemporary critic described Ignatius Sancho as “what is very uncommon
for men of his complexion, A man of letters.” A London shopkeeper, former butler,
and descendant of slaves, Sancho was the first author of African descent to have
his correspondence published. He was also a critic of literature, music, and art;
a composer; and an advocate for the abolition of slavery. Sancho’s letters reveal
an avid reader and prolific author, and his epistolary style shows a sophisticated
understanding of both private and public audiences. Even after the abolition of
the slave trade, proponents of equal rights on both sides of the Atlantic continued
to use Sancho as an exemplar of the intellectual and moral capacity of people of
African descent.
In addition to the annotated letters by Sancho, this edition includes Laurence
Sterne’s letters to Sancho, Sancho’s surviving autograph writings, and a selection
of the many eighteenth-century responses to Sancho and his letters.
Ignatius Sancho (c. 1729-80) was a British writer, composer, and critic.
Vincent Carretta is Professor of English at the University of Maryland.

L.W. Conolly’s new edition of one of Shaw’s most controversial
plays restores an early final act of the play removed from all
previous published versions.
The second of Shaw’s “unpleasant” plays, written in 1893, published in 1898, but
not performed until 1905, The Philanderer is subtitled “A Topical Comedy.” The
eclectic range of topical subjects addressed in the play include the influence of
Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen on British middle-class social mores (the
second act of The Philanderer is set in the fictional Ibsen Club), medical follies, the
rise of the “New Woman,” and, in particular, the destructive impact of Victorian
marriage and divorce laws, laws that lead inevitably, Shaw says in his preface to
the play, to “grotesque sexual compacts” that blight contemporary society. Just as
Shaw’s other “unpleasant” plays, Widowers’ Houses and Mrs Warren’s Profession,
call, respectively, for reform of laws that allow corrupt property owners to
exploit the poor and radical change to economic structures that drive women
into prostitution, so The Philanderer makes the case for more liberal legislation
to allow easier divorce—particularly for women—when marriages become
irretrievably broken.
Shaw’s attack on divorce laws becomes even clearer and stronger in the final
act that he wrote for the play, but which he discarded in favour of the original
published version.
Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) was an Irish-born playwright and political activist.

This Broadview Edition places Wordsworth’s masterpiece in
the context of his turbulent times.
Published five years after William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s
popular collection Lyrical Ballads, Wordsworth’s Poems, in Two Volumes shocked
readers and drew scornful reviews. Poems was a revolutionary challenge to literary
taste in revolution-weary times. The poems were perceived as inappropriately
personal, “puerile,” and egotistical in the attention that the poet pays to “moods
of [his own] mind.” The collection is now seen as containing some of the most
enduring works of British Romantic poetry, and Wordsworth’s achievement in
opening up new worlds of subject matter, emotion, and poetic expression is widely
recognized.
Richard Matlak places the initial reaction to Poems in its historical context
and explains the sea change in critical and popular opinion of these poems. The
extensive historical documents place the poems in the context of Wordsworth’s
life, contemporary politics, and the literary world of the early nineteenth century.
William Wordsworth (1770-1850) was a British poet best known for his lyric
poetry and the autobiographical poem The Prelude.
Richard Matlak is Professor of English and Director of the Center for
Interdisciplinary and Special Studies at the College of the Holy Cross, Worcester,
Massachusetts.

This extraordinary proto-novel challenges the conventional
picture of Elizabethan England.
“Among all manual arts used in this land, none is more … beneficial to the
commonwealth, than is the most necessary art of clothing.” So begins Thomas
Deloney’s extraordinary prose narrative, dedicated “To All Famous Clothworkers
in England.” It is an amiable and remarkably entertaining work of fiction—and
one that connects powerfully with the real world of sixteenth-century England.
Deloney recounts the story of “John Winchcombe, in his younger years called Jack
of Newbury,” an early sixteenth-century apprentice in the company of weavers.
Courted by the wife of his former master, he marries her and thereby becomes
wealthy; spends time in the court of Henry VIII and challenges Cardinal Wolsey;
and becomes embroiled in a range of comic situations. Amusing as it is, the work
also has a serious message: as Peter Herman puts it in his introduction to the
volume, “the truly valuable subjects” in this book “are not the nobility, but the
merchant class, people who either labor or provide the opportunity for labor.”
Set in the early sixteenth century Jack of Newbury resonated powerfully with
readers in the 1590s—an era of economic crisis, high unemployment, and great
suffering, for all its literary flowering—and was enormously popular. The range
of background materials included with this edition help to set it in the broader
context of economic and political, as well as literary, culture.
Thomas Deloney was a sixteenth-century balladeer, prose writer, and silkweaver.
Peter C. Herman, Professor in the Department of English and Comparative
Literature at San Diego State University, is the author or editor of many books,
including The New Milton Criticism (Cambridge University Press, 2012).

Kant’s essay remains an enduring antidote to the violence
and cynicism that is all-too-often on display in international
relations and foreign affairs. It is presented here in a new
translation with contextual apparatus.
Kant’s landmark essay, “On Perpetual Peace,” is as timely, relevant, and inspiring
today as when it was first written over 200 years ago. In it, we find a forwardlooking vision of a world respectful of human rights, dominated by liberal
democracies, and united in a cosmopolitan federation of diverse peoples.
This book features a fresh and vigorous translation of Kant’s essay by Ian
Johnston. It also includes an extended introduction by philosopher Brian Orend,
author of the widely-used text, The Morality of War. This extensive, yet highly
readable, introduction situates Kant’s essay in its historical context, while also
offering a substantial analysis, section-by-section, of the essay itself. In doing so,
Orend not only discusses Kant’s personal life and the history of “the perpetual
peace tradition,” he also shows how Kant’s provocative ideas have inspired and
infused our own time, especially the concept of a global alliance of free societies
committed to respecting human rights.
The book also sports an enlightening set of appendices that cleverly and sharply
debate the promise of perpetual peace. A few are from Kant’s works, but
most are from other acclaimed thinkers, including: Hegel, Leibniz, Bentham,
Voltaire, Rousseau, and the Abbé de Saint-Pierre. A chronology of Kant’s life and
a recommended reading list round out this inquiry into one of the most hopeful,
stirring, and imaginative political proposals: a cosmopolitan federation uniting
us all and securing perpetual peace between nations.
Immanuel Kant (1724-1804), was a philosopher who lived in Königsberg, Prussia.
Brian Orend is Director of International Studies and Professor of Philosophy at
the University of Waterloo. He is the author of The Morality of War (Broadview).
Ian Johnston is Emeritus Professor at Vancouver Island University.

Plato’s account of the last days of Socrates, in a lively new
translation.
Socrates, the first of the great ancient Greek philosophers, left no written works.
What survives of his philosophical thought are second-hand descriptions of his
teachings and conversations—including, most famously, the accounts of his trial
and execution composed by his friend, student, and philosophical successor, Plato.
These dialogues, though fallible as historical record, contain some of the most
fascinating and well-known arguments in Western philosophy, and they offer a
dramatic picture of Socrates as uncompromising in the face of death.
In Euthyphro, Socrates examines the concept of piety, and displays his propensity
for questioning Athenian authorities. Such audacity is not without consequence,
and in the Apology we find Socrates defending himself in court against charges of
impiety and corruption of the youth. Crito depicts Socrates choosing to accept the
resulting death sentence, rather than escape Athens and avoid execution. All three
dialogues are included here, as is the final scene of Phaedo, in which the sentence
is carried out. Woods and Pack’s new translation strikes a fine balance between
literal exactness and readability, and thorough annotations make Plato’s prose
more accessible than ever before. A non-technical introduction sets the stage for
new readers, detailing the historical context of Plato’s writing, and offering useful
background information.
Plato (c. 427-347 BCE) was a Greek philosopher.

BISAC CODE LITERARY CRITICISM &
COLLECTIONS / Native American
This unique collection gathers 26 important works of
criticism on Canadian Indigenous literature.
The texts gathered in this collection trace the development of Indigenous literatures
while highlighting major trends and themes. The anthology collects 26 indispensable
critical essays, from E. Pauline Johnson to Daniel Heath Justice. Though Canadian
critics and writers are emphasized, some key works of Native American literary
criticism are also included. The essays explore issues that still reverberate in the
study of Indigenous literature: appropriation of voice, stereotyping, traditional
knowledge, language, land, spirituality, orality, colonialism, post-colonialism,
gender, hybridity, authenticity, resistance, and ethical scholarship.
Heather Macfarlane is an instructor in the Department of English at Queen’s
University; her publications include articles on women’s writing, travel writing,
and literature in Indigenous languages.
Armand Ruffo is Queen’s National Scholar in Indigenous Literatures and
Languages at Queen’s University; he is also a poet, biographer, and fi lmmaker.

Essays and Arguments is a compact and effective
introduction to using argument in academic writing.
“Teaching argumentation and essay-writing is extraordinarily difficult, and
learning to argue and write is even harder, but Ian Johnston has provided
an excellent resource for both writing instructors and students. Essays
and Arguments is a worthwhile addition to any writing instructor’s library
and a useful tool for any student.” – Lindsey Michael Banco, University of
Saskatchewan
How does one help undergraduate students learn quickly how to analyze a
rational argument—and to produce one in the form of an essay? This book offers
a straightforward, systematic introduction to some of the key elements in the
analysis and construction of arguments. The emphasis here is on practical advice
that will prove immediately useful to students—recommended procedures are
emphasized, and detailed examples of academic and student writing are provided
throughout.
The book introduces the basics of argumentation before moving on to the structure
and organization of essays. Planning and outlining the essay, writing strong thesis
statements, organizing coherent paragraphs, and writing effective introductions
and conclusions are discussed. A separate section concisely explores issues
specific to essays about literary works.
Ian Johnston is Emeritus Professor at Vancouver Island University.

Academic Writing, Real World Topics introduces students
to writing in the disciplines with readings on vibrant
contemporary issues.
Academic Writing, Real World Topics brings together articles and essays of
actual academic prose as opposed to journalism; it arranges material topically
as opposed to by discipline or academic division; and it approaches topics from
multiple disciplinary and critical perspectives. With extensive introductions,
rhetorical instruction, and suggested additional resources accompanying each
chapter, Academic Writing, Real World Topics introduces students to the kinds
of research and writing that they will be expected to undertake throughout their
college careers and beyond.
Readings are drawn from various disciplines across the major divisions of the
university and focus on issues of real import to students today, including such
topics as living in a digital culture, learning from games, learning in a digital
age, living in a global culture, facing our post-human future, surviving economic
crisis, and assessing armed global conflict. The book provides students with an
introduction to the diversity, complexity, and connectedness of writing in higher
education today.

Comments on Previous Editions:
“By far the most readable writing guide available—at any price.” – Jacky Bolding,
University of the Fraser Valley
“… reads like an amiable conversation with writers.… Seldom have I encountered a
handbook that demonstrates so concretely the connection between how we think
and what we write …” – Robyn Fowler, University of Alberta
“… very good—clear without being condescending. I especially appreciate its
comprehensive discussion of writing styles in multiple academic disciplines.”
– Jonathan Sadow, State University
Increasingly, writing handbooks are seen as over-produced and overpriced. One
stands out: The Broadview Guide to Writing is published in an elegant but simple
format and sells for roughly half the price of its fancier-looking competitors. That
does not change with the new edition; what does change and stay up-to-date is the
book’s contents. For the sixth edition the coverage of MLA, APA, Chicago, and CSE
styles of documentation has been substantially expanded as well as updated. Also
expanded is coverage of academic argument; of writing and critical thinking; of
writing about literature; of paragraphing; of how to integrate quoted material into
one’s own work; of balance and parallelism; and of issues of gender, race, religion,
etc. in writing. The chapter on writing about visual material is entirely new.
Doug Babington was until recently Director of the Writing Centre at Queen’s
University. Don LePan’s other books include The Broadview Pocket Glossary
of Literary Terms (2013) and Rising Stories: A Novel (2015). Maureen Okun is

A compact, one-volume version of the anthology that
“sets a new standard.”
For readers desiring a concentrated survey of British literature, The Broadview
Anthology of British Literature is now available in this compact, single-volume
version. The Compact Edition features the same high quality introductions,
annotations, contextual materials, and illustrations found in the full six-volume
anthology and in the two-volume Concise Edition. In a single bound book, the
One-Volume Compact Edition provides about two-thirds of the material from
the two-volume Concise Edition—as well as some selections not included in the
two-volume anthology (such as Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night and Robert Louis
Stevenson’s Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde).
This volume is accompanied by a substantial website component featuring further
selections (drawn from the two-volume Concise Edition and from the six period
volumes of the full anthology), a “Sounds of British Literature” audio component,
interactive review questions, and chronological charts.

COMMENTS ON
THE BROADVIEW
ANTHOLOGY
OF BRITISH
LITERATURE:
“… an exciting achievement. It
sets a new standard by which
all other anthologies of British
Literature will now have to be
measured.”
– Graham Hammill, State
University of New York,
Buffalo
“With the publication of The
Broadview Anthology of
British Literature, teachers
and students in survey and
upper-level undergraduate
courses have a compelling
alternative to the established
anthologies by Norton and
Longman…. This is a very
real intellectual, as well as
pedagogical, achievement.”
– Nicholas Watson, Harvard
University
“[T]he Norton remains the
800 lb gorilla in the classroom.
But it faces vigorous and
growing competition from
other anthologies, notably
The Longman Anthology of
British Literature and The
Broadview Anthology of
British Literature…. The most
recent entry in the field, the
Broadview, [is distinguished
by its] selections, longer
introductions, more visual
material, and … Web
component.”

Praise for the first edition:
“A delightful discussion that beautifully clarifies what is all too often confusing or
just plain confused. The book will help ordinary citizens to better understand and
evaluate all sorts of scientific claims as they occur in the popular press and public
policy debates. Hats off to Mark Battersby!” – Harvey Siegel, University of Miami
“Is That a Fact? is conceived as an updating for the Internet Age of Darrell Huff ’s
immensely popular 1954 classic, How to Lie with statistics, with a somewhat
broader focus.... Huff ’s book has sold more than a million copies. Is That A Fact?
deserves a similarly large readership.” – David Hitchcock, McMaster University,
in Informal Logic
How much should we trust the polls on the latest electoral campaign? When a
physician tells us that a diagnosis of cancer is 90% certain or a scientist informs us
that recent studies support global warming, what should we conclude? Questions
such as these are greatly important, yet many of us have only a vague sense of how
to answer them.
In Is That a Fact?, Mark Battersby aims not only to explain how to identify
misleading statistics, but also to give readers the understanding necessary to
evaluate and use statistical information in their own decision-making. Graphs
and illustrations are used to visually illustrate concepts, while cartoons liven the
discussion and connect the book’s ideas to familiar and humorous contexts. This
second edition is revised and updated throughout, and it includes a new chapter
on the weighting of risks in public policy-making.

Chapter 12: Sustainability and the Environment
This engaging interactive text connects ethical theory to
business practice.
Though the importance of business ethics is self-evident, academic discussions
of the topic often occur at some remove from the people whose day-to-day
decision-making they are meant to inform. With this book, Andrew Kernohan
aims to connect the academic to the practical, extracting the basic elements of
rigorous philosophical ethics into a format that can be understood and applied
in the business world. Concepts such as utility, duty, and sustainability are given
practical value and connected to examples and methods familiar to business
people. Classical ethical theories are surveyed, as are modern perspectives on
justice, equality, and the environment. Where possible, quantitative examples and
methods are used to show that ethics need not be subjective or vague.
Kernohan provides an overview of the basic tools of ethical decision-making and
shows how each can be used to resolve moral problems in business environments.
Readers are then invited to apply those tools by completing a series of online
exercises, receiving immediate objective feedback on their success. The book and
its accompanying exercises thus work in concert, offering a unique opportunity for
interactive self-directed learning.
Andrew Kernohan is Adjunct Professor of Philosophy at Dalhousie University
and author of Environmental Ethics: An Interactive Introduction (Broadview

Abstract questions are made concrete in this accessible
survey of central philosophical issues.
Metaphysics and the theory of knowledge lie at the heart of the Western
philosophical tradition, and yet they are notoriously tricky subjects to engage.
In this book, Jack Crumley makes those difficult topics intelligible, not only
introducing the central issues and arguments but also explaining their broader
significance, thereby connecting abstract themes to more familiar concerns.
Though topically organized, the book integrates positions and examples from the
history of philosophy. Plato, Descartes, and Leibniz are discussed alongside Quine,
Kripke, and other 20th- and 21st-century figures.
The book’s first half examines such key issues in the theory of knowledge
as skepticism, a priori knowledge, and the nature of justification, as well as
naturalized and feminist epistemology. A range of metaphysical topics are then
explored, including perception, the relationship between body and mind, personal
identity, free will, and the existence and nature of God. Peripheral ideas and
related historical asides are offered in boxes interspersed throughout the text,
providing further depth without disrupting the author’s lucid explanations of
central themes. Each chapter is written to stand on its own, allowing the reader
to proceed directly to whichever topics are of greatest interest.
Jack S. Crumley II is Professor of Philosophy at the University of San Diego and
author of An Introduction to Epistemology, 2nd edition (Broadview Press, 2009)
and A Brief Introduction to the Philosophy of Mind (Rowman & Littlefield, 2006).

An introduction and practical guide to an exciting
philosophical movement.
In recent years, developments in experimental philosophy have led many
thinkers to reconsider their central assumptions and methods. It is not enough
to speculate and introspect from the armchair—philosophers must subject their
claims to scientific scrutiny, looking at evidence and in some cases conducting
new empirical research. The Theory and Practice of Experimental Philosophy is
an introduction and guide to the systematic collection and analysis of empirical
data in academic philosophy.
This book serves two purposes: first, it examines the theory behind “x-phi,” including
its underlying motivations and the objections that have been leveled against it.
Second, the book offers a practical guide for those interested in doing experimental
philosophy, detailing how to design, implement, and analyze empirical studies.
Thus, the book explains the reasoning behind x-phi and provides tools to help
readers become experimental philosophers.

A top-selling introduction to good reasoning, in a new
succinct and inexpensive format.
Praise for previous editions:
“… I highly recommend it to anyone interested in improving their ability to
distinguish the reasonable from the unreasonable in the realm of belief.”
– David Matheson, Carleton University
“… I cannot think of a better introduction to critical thinking that does not
compromise philosophical rigor.”
– Mahesh Ananth, Indiana University, South Bend
Hughes and Lavery’s Critical Thinking is a hugely successful, comprehensive
introduction to the essential skills of good reasoning, refined through seven
editions published over more than two decades. Now, for the first time, the book
is available in a shortened format, offering a succinct presentation of the essential
elements of reasoning that doesn’t sacrifice any of the rigor or sophistication found
in the standard edition. The authors provide a thorough treatment of such central
topics as deductive and inductive reasoning, logical fallacies, how to recognize
and avoid ambiguity, and how to distinguish what is relevant from what is not.
A companion website provides a range of interesting supplements, including
interactive review questions and readings on such topics as machine intelligence,
gun rights, and marijuana legislation.
The late William Hughes was Professor and Chair in the Philosophy Department
at the University of Guelph. Jonathan Lavery is Associate Professor of Society,
Culture, and Environment at Wilfrid Laurier University, Brantford.
