What Does It All Mean? - A Very Short Introduction to Philosophy (Hardcover)

This 'very short introduction to philosophy' shows us how philosophy can help us towards a better understanding of our own lives. It challenges us to answer everyday questions: do we really have free will? Why should we be moral? How should we feel about death? Emphatically not a book of homespun wisdom, this is an excellent introduction by a Professor of Philosophy at New York University that makes a complex subject lively and topical. (Kirkus UK)

Introducing the uninitiated to the world of philosophical inquiry, by examining nine philosophical problems fundamental to everyday living in a clear and easy to understand manner and without becoming embroiled in the history of thought. A suitable short introduction to the methods of philosophy for all those with a taste for abstract ideas and theoretical arguments.
