A superb book. The most tantalizing problems in philosophy are
presented in a clear, accessible way. From now on, when someone
asks me for an introduction to philosophy, as it is practised
today, I will recommend this book.
*Gordon Barnes, Associate Professor of Philosophy, State University
of New York at Brockport, USA*
An excellent introduction to epistemology and metaphysics for the
student or layperson, heartily recommended. It is brief and
succinct, wasting no words, but covers the essentials of each topic
in a clear and engaging way.
*James Van Cleve, Professor of Philosophy, University of Southern
California, USA*
