This book is fantastic! I took my philosophy classes with Dan McCullough at Cape Cod Community College, and I have to say that he was unquestionably one of the most influential college professors of my educational career.

The book itself is almost a collection of his lectures, arranged into easily-accessible chapters. It's written in the confident and funny style he uses to talk about these topics. I wholeheartedly recommend this book for anyone who wants an introduction to philosophy in a quick and easy read. Yayayay.

This book could be renamed Philosophy for Dummies and its a good thing; makes complicated subject matter accessible. I have and will reread this book many times.
