"This is a good introduction to many of the main problems/questions of Philosophy. Unlike many introductions to the subject, Blackburn doesn't really worry so much about describing the history of the field, but rather spends more time just discussing various thinkers' attempts to answer the questions mentioned above. This is a great starting point for anyone who is interested in Philosophy; especially for those with more enthusiasm than time to invest."
"This is a fantastic explanation of philosophy for general readers like me, written by an eminent philosopher who also wrote the Oxford Dictionary of Philosophy. Blackburn devotes each chapter of this short but challenging book to a major theme in philosophy, such as the nature of knowledge, God, the self, and good conduct. In each of these chapters, he outlines modern philosophical arguments on these subjects with reference to some of the great philosophers of history. He starts, not with ancient philosophers like Plato and Aristotle, but with Descartes, whom he considers to be the first modern philosopher. One surprise that arrived near the end of this book was a philosophical treatment not only of ethics, but of practical action. There's something you don't read about every day!"
