Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. One of the only college textbooks that I've actually kept. This book covers the very bare bones basics of Philosophy, but also includes thought provoking open-ended questions for the reader. The best thing about this book are the marginal quotations on every page. The quotes reference everyone from Rousseau to Mr. Spock, proving that Philosophy is not some dusty old study of snooty academics, but a relevant way of thinking in our own time. Christian's book leaves many questions unanswered, but gets the reader to think outside the box. I suggest this book to everyone, and am constantly surprised that more people haven't read it.

And best of all, this philosophy textbook helps you develop the analytical skills you need to critically engage the "big picture" of Western philosophy for yourself. No library descriptions found. |
