GREAT

I am lucky enough to have Dr. Herman as my prof and he uses this book to help teach the class. He really makes philosophy down to earth for the normal person. Pick it up.
Outstanding Introduction

Shop around no more. If you are looking for a introduction into philosophy but have no idea where to begin, then this book is for you. It is cleverly written by Steve Herman and Gregg Stebben. The book doesn't waste time on details, because the authors wisely are targeting an audience who are approaching this subject for probably the first time.It is only about 120 pages long and can be read and understaood in one setting. Most positions are quickly cited such as Theism and Atheism. They don't take sides and sometimes point out the strengths and weeknesses of certain positions. Chapters like a "Life Worth Living" are full of humor and interesting.The authors successfully restrian themselves from putting in their bias, which for this type of book is extremely important. If you are not sure if you can handle the subject of philosophy, then get this book first. It will introduce you to this subject in a clear and concise manner.
