This book was a life-saver. Took an online class in Philosophy and the teacher basically phoned it in. But, this book was informative and engaging. It made the class so much better than it could have been. A well-done introduction to the study of Philosophy. The author handled different areas of philosophy and religion without being condescending or dismissive about any of them. She treated each fairly. You could catch her enthusiasm about philosophy within the pages of this textbook. Highly recommended.

Explores multiple philosophies, if you like to think about the nature of things you will probably realized someone already thought along the same lines as you, centuries ago!
