Reviews

“This is likely one of the finest introductions to philosophy I do know of. It covers many subdisciplines of theoretical philosophy, is extraordinarily effectively-argued, and is wittily written. It teaches precision in each idea-formation and argumentation however doesn’t make investments it in all-too summary and irrelevant issues. Instead, it emphasizes on the good problems with philosophy―from the existence of God to the character of the thoughts. Even the knowledgeable thinker will profit from it.” — Vittorio G. Hösle, University of Notre Dame, USA “Virtually with out exception, current-day introductions to philosophy are anthologies, mosaics of thought combining deliberations from assorted sources and factors of view. The systemic unity of thought that must be the hallmark of rigorous philosophy is totally absent from such a Cook’s tour transit throughout the panorama of thought. The distinctive characteristic of Tennant’s ebook is that it traverses an enormous array of key points from an built-in and constant conceptual and methodological perspective. It superimposes upon thematic and doctrinal range a deeply insightful and analytical unity. The ebook can be a delight to show.” — Nicholas Rescher, University of Pittsburgh, USA
