Synopsis
Widely used by instructors as an introductory supplement, this small book has helped thousands of students learn to think philosophically, recognize philosophical problems, and avoid the common pitfalls involved in writing critical philosophical essays. This book answers the four most important questions a beginning student needs to have answered: 1. What is a philosophical problem? 2. Why bother doing philosophy? 3. How do I go about doing philosophy? 4. Am I going to get anywhere for my efforts?

Review
"I think that the process of learning begins---and thus the activity of teaching ought to begin---with a stage of romance, a period in which students are provided with opportunities to fall in love with a subject or discipline. . . . The author has taken time and care to make such an accommodation."
