EXCELLENT OVERVIEW

Western philosophy can become a complex subject to the point of confusing lay persons and college undergraduates. HarperCollins College Outline series takes away that confusion by providing us with an in depth text summarizing the basic tenants and issues of philosophy without sacrificing the content. Introduction to Philosophy gives the general reader and college student a basic overview of the field. It provides the reader with an outline, a clear narrative of each philosophic theory, gives the the arguments for and against each theory, and ends with a summary of what was presented in the chapter. This is an excellent study guide for students and is a good review for those who have studied philosophy and want their memories refreshed. I highly recommend this book which is accessible, a good read and enjoyable for getting to know a subject that impacts upon our daily lives.
