An almost perfectly thorough and delightful introduction to philosophy. I wish I had read this when I was first getting an interest in philosophy. This book somehow manages to be both deep in meaning and light on difficulty. A wonderful guide into the world of philosophy!
A marvelous way to learn about philosophy without taking graduate courses.
