This textbook's format was simple and easy to navigate. I really enjoyed the simplicity of it. Philosophy can be a complicated topic that is challenging to understand. I felt like this textbook didn't explain concepts that well and skipped some major theories while emphasizing others, showing bias toward one theory than another (for example, heavy emphases on substance dualism but not property dualism).

This text was well written, though I wouldn't consider this a proper fit for an entry level philosophy course. It also contained a lot of philosophical 1st person dialogue that I considered unnecessarily extensive for the subject matter at hand.
