It's a gem that our awesome publishing company has brought
to life. Now, as part of my job, I get to dive into countless books, and I must
say, this one is an absolute delight. No need for any unnecessary delay, let me
give you a sneak peek into what makes it so worthwhile. Are you ready?
Let's jump right in with the introduction!.Welcome to the world of
transformative learning with OpenStax!
Education is a powerful tool that has the potential to unlock opportunities for
every individual. At OpenStax, we are on a mission to make education work for
every student. As part of Rice University, a nonprofit charitable corporation, we
believe that knowledge should be accessible to all, breaking down barriers that
hinder learning.
Our commitment to accessibility is reflected in the licensing of our resources.
Introduction to Philosophy is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution
4.0 International (CC BY) license. This means you have the freedom to distribute,
remix, and build upon the content, provided you give appropriate credit to
OpenStax and the content contributors. Customize the book to suit your course's
needs, picking the most relevant sections for your syllabus. You can even share
direct links to specific chapters through your learning management system,
making learning seamless and efficient.
We empower instructors to create tailored versions of our books, making them
available to students at affordable prices, either in print or digital formats.
OpenStax ensures that the art within the book is also openly licensed, allowing
reuse as long as proper attribution is given.
Quality is of paramount importance to us, and every OpenStax textbook
undergoes rigorous review. While we strive for perfection, occasional errors may
occur, and educational frameworks evolve over time. But, thanks to the webbased
nature of our books, we can make regular updates to ensure the best
learning experience. If you spot an error or have a suggestion for improvement,
we encourage you to contribute through our website
