A great intro to philosophical problems and views

This book puts into layman's terms some of the more complex philosophical ideas by drawing from the writings of hundreds of authors and philosophers. Using fiction or science-fiction short stories, the editors have put together a book that helps virgin philosophers understand some ideas that senior philosophy students struggle with. From morality of time travel to metaphysics and from backward causation to the problem of pain. This is a very good philosophy book for the beginner philosopher or hobbiest.
