Format:Paperback
Those of us currently studying philosophy will know what a nightmare a reading list can often be. I for one have often ploughed through many a book without actually understanding a word of what I have read. Perusing the relevant topic in this book is generally enough to give me a good grounding to go on and tackle the rest of the reading matter. Not only that but it never oversimplifies, treading the fine line between ease of understanding, and real usefulness.

This book is brilliant for Philosophy students (BA or MA level).
It gives a no-nonsense intro to all the main topics which is brief as possible yet covers all the issues and subtleties you need to know about.
Whatever philosophy topic you're studying, read the relevant chapter in here first, then go to your reading list - it will make so much more sense.
This must have been a very difficult book to write and edit - so much to say in so compressed a form. It's a credit to the authors that it is SO good.
Smashing.

This book is fantastic, it aids your understanding of the subject in a way that is not too basic and simple as to insult your intelligence. As the guy who reviewed this book first said, it is ideal to use in addition to the main texts that you are reading in terms of understanding the main points that the author's trying to get across. 10 out of 10!!!!
