A delightfully clear primer in philosophy for those who want to understand it in plain human terms. At once brilliant and witty, it is, in my opinion, the best introduction to the subject since Will Durant's Story of Philosophy. Yet this book, unlike Durant's book, is not a survey of past thinkers. Instead, it a primer on how to think philosophically for oneself. Roger Scruton's comments on Wagner's music are particularly well struck chords!
