The chapter on science is pretty interesting, and I sympathize with most of the criticisms directed at methodological naturalism.
One thing that left me unsatisfied, though, is the lack of any discussion on genealogical and historical methods to solve philosophical problems. Certainly many contemporary philosophers have made use of them (Glock ch.4 if you want examples). So why not include them in the book?

One reviewer said the chapter on thought experiments was atrocious; maybe it's because I'm new to the subject, but it seems very fine to me: it's well written and comprehensive, the discussions were stimulating and the recommended chapters also seem very interesting. Overall, I'm really enjoying this book and I look forward to the next chapters.

Moore's defense of common sense was indeed a failure (the most obvious reason being the analysis objection raised by e.g. phenomenalists); yet I can't help but feel some simpathy towards his suspicion of revisionist metaphysics. I just don't think the approach is right. I have to think more about this later.
