Great Resource....

I wasn't a philosophy major in college, but this was one of the few books outside of my major that proved to be useful enough to make me want to keep once the course was over. it has depth and scope and the breakdown of the various philosophical styles and philosophers is beyond what you normally find in an intro class text.
