Thousand miles (kilometers) better as launchpads for further philosophical reading and as a introductory textbook compared to that acclaimed 'compelling introduction to philosophy' book. In virtually every way.

The writer emphasized importance of 'doing philosophy' instead of 'learning philosopher's philosophy'. And I really love how he stayed true to his words, by how he took stance and gave endorsement, besides evaluating various ancient and contemporary arguments.

Not a bit of second passed with boredom while reading it, except for 'reading' part where I have to read that boring aristotle work.

My rating: 4.5 stars.

Very good for an introductory textbook. Covers many important viewpoints on a range of important philosophical topics, and is generally fairly unbiased in its discussion. Aided me greatly in getting a understanding of the basics of philosophy, and was very helpful in providing a launching-off point to read the works of other philosophers.

A classic philosophy textbook from a well-respected and accessible philosopher of science. The lectures are engaging, thought-provoking and in-depth. I really enjoyed working my way through the lecture questions.

Easy to understand for a textbook, especially for philosophy, which can get convoluted.

Decent enough.
