“How to Excel in Undergraduate Philosophy” is my first book and was published in 2022. In January 2023, it was named a #1 New Release in Philosophy Reference on Amazon.
How to Excel in Undergraduate Philosophy
I believe that philosophy is a transformational discipline that is supportive of life’s greatest endeavors. The choice to study philosophy is a choice of persistence. Philosophy is, admittedly, an acquired taste of study. Still, philosophy is indispensable for personal and academic development. No progress comes without an initial question or a critical thought concerning change.
Philosophy inspired me to start my podcast, Emma-ism, and begin my mission to make philosophy accessible to all and enjoyable to learn. The Emma-ism premise is to collaborate, create, and celebrate. This book is a manifestation of that mission, and she hopes it will serve as a resource and guide that will be referred to again and again by students of philosophy.
Chapters include “How to Construct a Logically Valid Deductive Argument,” “Analytic vs. Continental Philosophy,” “Ethics Crash Course,” and many others! It is due to note that despite this book’s title, it is for everyone wishing to get started in their study of philosophy (whether that study is formal or informal). There are several lessons in the application of philosophy at the end too, so there is something for everyone in this book!
Book #2 is coming soon…
I am in the process of publishing my second book. This book is titled “One Hundred Days in Denmark.” It is meant as a shared exercise of philosophical introspection that aims to also provide a theory of trustworthiness.
