About this title

Review:

"The book's strongest asset, in my view, is precisely the clarity and just the right level of complexity and clarity for the community college student. It's a great introduction to philosophy: interesting for the non-specialist, but rigorous enough for students to get the hang of Real Philosophy. ... I like the book--so much so that I have chosen it over and over again for years." Janice R. Daurio, Moorpark College
