A Good Philosophy 101 Textbook

For the most part, this is a good book for Intro to Philosophy. The authors make a good attempt to bring the subject closer to home for the readers. It can get a little boring at times, and I wish it had more works from the philosophers, but overall, it is good.

More accessible than the rest.

As I was reading this text, (mind you just for fun, and for the enjoyment of my own personal endeavors) I could not help but notice that this textbook is easy to understand. If this book was given to someone with no knowledge of philosophy,(the beginning student for example)he/she would have an easier time of understanding that eternal question, "What is philosophy?" The chapters are well written,often using humorous yet, thought provoking quotes alongside the text. I really would recommend this book to someone who wants to venture toward attaining an understanding of philosophy. Everything in life I believe branches off from philosophia, this book allows you to understand that. - enrique de la Garza III
