Confronting different views.

I really like this book. The language is clear cristal, not to intricated as it sometimes is in philosophy books. I love this book includes fragments from the original texts of some of the most renown philosophers of all times. These are extremely well selected and each truly represents a particular view (often designated with a philosophical current). The only thing I gave four stars to this book is that I think, and this is my very personal taste, it would had been even better to include a pair of additional philosophers (but I now that in economy terms this was not optimal). I love that the book tries to cover aspects that normally this kind of books don't treat, like the role explanation has in religion and how it can be contrasted with different opinions developed previously. Really enjoyable read.
