Reviews

�Philosophy professors and students will find this wonderful little book to be a perfect gift for those who ask them what philosophy is or why philosophy matters.�
Alfred Mele, Florida State University �Excellent, easy to follow, and informative. Beebee and Rush make a good case for the importance of philosophy in part by demonstrating the joys of engaging in philosophy.�
Derek Matravers, The Open University �A great recommendation for students who think they may be interested in philosophy but aren�t quite sure what it is... the work is a delightful and welcoming invitation to a field that is too often perceived as dense and pretentious.�
Rebecca G. Scott, Teaching Philosophy
