Books by Professor Joseph Margolis

Examines the relationship between two apparently contradictory philosophical tendencies - realism and relativism. This book establishes a taxonomy of different kinds of realism and relativism. It looks at the various relationships in the light of two major developments in modern philosophy - the concern for praxis and the concern for historicity.

Provides an introduction to philosophy in the tradition of "The Problems of Philosophy" and "Central Questions of Philosophy". This book focuses on Western Philosophy, of epistemology, ontology, language and logic. It introduces such concepts as Knowledge and Belief, Perception and Sensation, Identity and Individualism, and Language and Truth.
