Description

This book explores the big questions in life, from knowledge and consciousness to fate, God, and truth. It's a guide for anyone who wants to understand these fundamental issues, but doesn't know where to start.

Simon Blackburn explains the study of philosophy and how the great thinkers of the past have approached its central themes. Each chapter delves into a major issue, providing a self-contained introduction to the problems that philosophers have studied. Topics range from scepticism and the self to freedom and ethics, and the arguments surrounding the existence of God.

With its lively and approachable tone, this book is ideal for anyone looking to learn how the basic techniques of thinking shape our existence.
