In this 1970 introduction to philosophy Mr Taylor concentrates on
two central topics - explanation and meaning. He takes the argument
far enough to acquaint the reader first-hand with the methods and
approach of analytical philosophy, and yet because of the scope of
these two topics he is able to introduce many of the traditional
philosophical problems in epistemology, metaphysics, ethics,
aesthetics, and logic. By this approach he avoids the dangers both
of superficiality and of undue technicality. Philosophers are
concerned to analyse and describe certain concepts and modes of
argument, not to establish facts or conclusions of any sort that
can be tested by formal demonstration or controlled observation;
their findings cannot be conveniently categorized or graded into a
comprehensive and progressive course of studies. Mr Taylor meets
this difficulty with his extended discussions of specific topics
and questions which have implications over the whole subject.
