[Mike Sherov]

The theological background of the author of this textbook are all too apparent, leaving problems to pro-god questions unanswered, and using vague rebuttals to athiest viewpoints. Now, I don't mind an author with a viewpoint, but this is supposed to be a textbook.



That aside, it provides concise, easy to digest summaries of the philosphies of some of the worlds most well known philosophers. I particularly liked his treatment of Kant.
