### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A nice summary, without gimmicks, of some major topics
*by A***R on 15 December 2016*

This was a gift for me after having fallen in love with philosophy at sixth form college. I loved it. I've since earned two degrees in philosophy and I still love this book. It is a book that is not at all ashamed in taking seriously the big questions of philosophy - and why should it be? - so it's not like some of the more gimmicky introductory books out there (Philosophy and TV Show, Philosophy and Comic Book Character, etc.) I don't think those gimmicky books are bad - there is plenty of good philosophy explored by smart people outside of universities - or cynical sales pitches (in my experience, purists of all sorts who sneer at popularisations of their subject, rarely read the work they criticise, and prefer the great unwashed remain ignorant of their hallowed turf); I only mention this in case you are looking at the book as a gift. I'd suggest it's for someone already quite sympathetic to sceptical reflection on cherished 'truths', sacred beliefs, or common sense notions. So, it's written in an accessible style and you don't need anything but curiosity and an open mind, but do expect it to make you do what the title suggests. Enjoy!
