Great introductory text. not a cover to cover read for me as it's not really that kind of book. I dipped in and out and enjoyed what I read. The section on practical ethics was my favourite. Sadly, because it's a text following a set curriculum that doesn't include Eastern philosophy, the focus on Western philosophy and Christianity becomes tiring after a while. A wider perspective would have improved it.

This, and the A2 guide, are still some of the best introductions to key concepts - and I'm using them as reference in my degree to this day!

My first introduction to studying Philosophy. A very easy read and a brilliant start if you want to take your first steps into philosophy.
