Invitation to Philosophy is written by Stanley M. Honer and published by Wadsworth Publishing Company. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0534564607 (ISBN 10) and 9780534564605 (ISBN 13).

Using a topics-and-positions approach in a handbook format, this text presents each major topic in philosophy through a succinct, relevant, and readable presentation, followed by critique of the representative positions (e.g., schools of thought, individual philosophers) within each topic. Used independently or as a core text to prime students for critical engagements with primary sources, the book's illustrated continuums help students compare various philosophical standpoints as they seek to engage in a variety of basic philosophical questions. Positions found on the continuum are explicated and then followed by a case study drawn from contemporary life that helps students to apply what they've learned.
