I read this introductory philosophy textbook when I was trying to determine whether or not I was certain I wanted to go back to school to get my MA and then hopefully later my Ph.D in philosophy. This book helped me to feel more comfortable with doing that while giving me a solid understanding of most introductory concepts in the field I've chosen. For that reason, this book will always be important to me.

woow! i'm very shocked when see that many of users who rate this book are Iranian. I think this is because of translating this book into persian.

یه کتاب خوب واسه آشنایی با فلسفه. ولی یک کم "شک گرایی" رو بیش از حد تاکید و تقویت می کنه. تا جایی که ممکنه وقتی به آخرش می رسین این علامت سوال بزرگ واستون ایجاد بشه که نکنه تمام فلسفه فقط شکاکی و زیر سوال بردن گزاره هاست . حتی یه گزاره خیلی عادی مثل اینکه دنیای خارجی وجود دارد. "
