Offers an introduction to philosophy, suitable for general readers and first-year students coming to this subject for the first time. This guide covers various key terms, concepts and thinkers. It features more than 100 jargon-free entries on topics from Animal Ethics to Wittgenstein and includes witty anecdotes and handy tips on further reading.
This is an outstanding single-volume synopsis of the key people and themes in the history of western philosophyMoseley's authoritative command of the subject is enhanced by an informal writing style that is free of unnecessary technical jargon. While the book's alphabetical arrangement makes it a valuable reference work, its narrative structure flows so smoothly that it can be enjoyably read cover to cover. If you are new to philosophy, this is the place to begin; if you are already philosophically adept, you will appreciate the book as a convenient repository of philosophical knowledge. -- Professor James Fieser, University of Tennessee, USA
