Rating: 5
Summary: A lively little book for everyone.
Comment: Its length obviously prohibits comprehensiveness, but this book is succinct and lively on the topics it does cover. Edward Craig does an admirable job of showing how some of even the most ancient philosophical questions are pertinent to a modern person's life. The writing style is accessible with little jargon. The bibliography is a fine starting point for further reading. A great read to augment a more thorough survey of Philosophy.

Rating: 5
Summary: Useful in the extreme.
Comment: A wonderful, lucid, entertaining and informative guide. Craig takes the reader step-by-step through some of the principal works of ancient and modern philosophy, and provides us with an essential guide to the somewhat daunting task of deciphering and understanding a range of compelling thinkers and their works. With an engaging, friendly writing style (and an excellent bibliography to encourage us to continue our journey), this is an indispensable little volume.
