Proceedings of the Boston Area Colloquium in Ancient Philosophy, Volume 22 Volume XXII (2006) Book

The title suggests that this book is an introduction to philosophy, but it's the subtitle that truly gets at what this book is about: the Classical Realist Tradition. In this sense, I would not recommend this as an introduction to philosophy per se, but as an introduction to the realist tradition. The historical introduction to philosophy only covers the Sophists, Socrates, Plat, and Aristotle (and perhaps Aquinas).

Nevertheless, as one firmly convinced of the value and truthfulness of the realist tradition, I highly recommend this work. Because I identify with the Reformed (Christian, protestant) tradition, this work outlines the philosophical world behind the Reformers and the Reformed confessions. This is all the more critical in our day, as attempts to redefine the doctrine of God, theology proper, the nature of revelation and epistemology, etc., are common.
