Philosophy is one of the hardest college courses I've had to take this far, and as an introductory course, I don't think this book was a good choice. The jargon and mind bending writings were extremely difficult to understand. I still learned a little bit but I dreaded having to pick this book up each week. I am so extremely pleased the class is nearly over.
