- From the Introduction -
Philosophy takes a broad perspective and a long-range approach when thinking about things. It is a way of taking a step back and asking, "What does it all mean originally?" Philosophy then proposes a new set of spectacles for thinking about how we should look at the world... In this book, I present the glasses of thought that philosophy has proposed for 2,500 years. Try them out and see for yourself. I expect you will be surprised by what you discover.
