"Philosophy: The Quest for Truth does a nice job of taking many of the most important texts in the western philosophical canon and condensing them so that even students with no background in the discipline can access them. My students have expressed high praise for the book's arrangement, with its pro and contra style. I cannot speak highly enough of Pojman and Vaughn's writing style. It says everything that needs to be said, but does so in a way that is easy for students to access."--Kayla Bohannon, University of Kentucky
"The book's strengths include coverage of a very nice variety of philosophical topics; an excellent, pro and contra reading arrangement; and introductory material on arguments that is great to have. Pojman and Vaughn's introductions and narrative sections are definitely engaging, direct, informative, and clear, and the level of this material would be good for my students."--Dave Yount, Mesa Community College
"I give it a 10 out of 10. Philosophy: The Quest for Truth is a good book that keeps students' interests in mind."--Keith Hess, College of Southern Nevada
