John Nuttall teaches Philosophy at St. John's School, Leatherhead.
"This book, a welcome addition to a crowded field, is a lucid and
wide-ranging introduction that will give students a very good sense
of what philosophy is. Nuttall is particularly successful at
integrating contemporary and historical sources, and he brings to
his discussion both an enthusiasm and a lightness of touch." Nick
Everitt, Department of Philosophy, University of East Anglia
"Crisp, and written with exceptional clarity, this book will entice
readers keen to explore the major issues debated in philosophy.
Beginning with Descartes, Nuttall demonstrates a deep and
wide-ranging understanding of the main questions in philosophy. The
book will be valuable for those engaging with philosophy for the
first time, including students studying it for AS- and A-level. "K.
T. Maslin, Head of Philosophy, Esher Sixth Form College
