Bought for a friend. Excellent inroduction to Philosophy for older students/adults.

Useful introduction to the complexity of philosophy

It explains the important major concepts of philosophy clearly and in easy language. It influenced the way I think and understand the world significantly- a steep learning curve.

Not only is the book an amazing book through which concepts can be grasped very easily, the author, Chris Horner is an inspiration. I had him as a teacher at college and with the help of Chris and this very book I began to have a real interest in philosophy. I would recommend it as a general read as well as an educational one.

As someone with an interest in (but no real knowledge) of philosophy, I bought this book as a springboard, hoping it would give me a firmer foundation from which to go on to further study. What an excellent choice! The book covers so many different topics and is written in a clear, concise style, enabling the reader to understand the at times quite complex issues under discussion.Highly recommended, for both students of philosophy and those with a passing interest alike.
