A neat conversational concept that attempts to make philosophy more approachable. But the book’s formatting made it a difficult read, the character back and forth was tedious, and the actual content was buried too deeply in dialogue.

Appreciated the quotes, readings, explanations, definitions combined in one source, just needed better organization.

I wish we had more philosophy books like this. Informative, fun, detailed, and non- biased. Three friends discussing philosophy at a coffee table. Touches on ethics, religion, science, leadership, responsibility, and law.

Like others have said, I thoroughly enjoyed the format of this "text book". I hardly felt like I was reading for a class.
