Doing philosophy inspires active learning and helps students become more accomplished critical thinkers by encouraging them to reflect on philosophical theories and the thought experiments used to test them. The book traces the historical development of philosophical thinking on a number of central problems and shows how the solutions offered to these problems inform current thinking on many social, political, and religious issues. By introducing students to philosophical theorizing and encouraging them to formulate their own views, Doing Philosophy fosters creative as well as critical thinking and generates an appreciation for the importance of philosophical inquiry.

正常情况下，我们死后，身上的原子就会成为土壤的一部分。这些土壤成分可能会被植物的根系所吸收，并且这些植物可能会被其他人吃掉。因此一个人可能含有从前是另一个人类的部分的原子。如果上帝需要将二者都复生，那么由谁来获得这些共有的原子？神学家们并没有忽视这点。正如英国数学家和哲学家伯特兰·罗素所复述，圣托马斯·阿奎那（St. Thomas Aquinas）曾被这个问题所困扰。
（罗素：）天主教会的官方哲学家圣托马斯·阿奎那，曾冗长而认真的讨论一个非常严肃的问题，而我不得不说，现代神学家们怕是过分地忽视了它。。他想象一个食人者，此人除了人肉以外什么都没吃过，而他的父母也有相似的癖好。他身体的每一个粒子都是曾经属于别人的。我们不能假设那些被食人者吃掉的人在不朽的轮回中会永远地少掉一部分。但如果这样的话，食人者还能剩下什么呢？如果他所有的肉体都还给了这些肉体原来的主人，那么食人者还怎么能在地狱中被火烧呢？正如这位圣徒所恰当地认识到的那样，这是一个令人困扰的问题。 (查看原文)
