PHILOSOPHY
A
Very Short Introduction
Edward
Craig
This
lively
and
engaging book
is the
ideal introduction
for
anyone
who has
ever been puzzled
by
what philosophy
is
or
what
it is
for.
Edward Craig argues that philosophy
is not an
activity
from
another planet: learning about
it is
just
a
matter
of
broadening
and
deepening what most
of us do
already.
He
shows that philosophy
is no
mere intellectual pastime:
thinkers
such
as
Plato, Buddhist writers, Descartes,
Hobbes, Hume, Hegel, Darwin, Mill
and de
Beauvoir were
responding
to
real needs
and
events
-
much
of
their work
shapes
our
lives today,
and
many
of
their concerns
are
still
ours.
'A
vigorous
and
engaging introduction
that
speaks
to the
philosopher
in
everyone.'
John
Cottingham,
University
of
Reading
'addresses
many
of the
central philosophical questions
in
an
engaging
and
thought-provoking style
...
Edward
Craig
is
already famous
as the
editor
of the
best long
work
on
philosophy (the Routledge Encyclopedia);
now
he
deserves
to
become even better known
as the
author
of
one of the
best short
ones.'
Nigel
Warburton,
The
Open
University
