What Does it All Mean?: A Very Short Introduction to Philosophy
£4.73
A Very Good Introduction to Philosophy - This is a good, easy introduction to philosophy. It places the emphasis on keeping things simple rather than going into difficult or controversial depth. Perhaps that is a pity: Thomas View from Nowhere Nagel has developed some fascinating thoughts elsewhere. But the book does well without them. Highly recommended to the novice philosopher.
Buy it! - Just finished reading this book. I think it s great for beginners in philosophy as it isnt too complex. It s really easy to read and to understand where Nagel is coming from. He doesnt waffle on too much like some other philosophers. I d recommend this book to people with no philosophical background, even teenagers as it isnt too academic. This book really gets you thinking about the issues raised in the book. Overall, it s an easy read and I d thoroughly recommend it.
A Philosophical Apperatif - Nagel is well known for the clarity of his thought and writing. This small book is an excellent read for someone with little knowledge of philosophy. The topics are broad and interesting yet, by the end, you will be much closer to knowing whether you find philosophy interesting as a subject.This book is well suited to its target audience: people with little experience of philosophy who would like to explore some very interesting ideas - and to see if philosophy is suited to them.If you have already studied philosophy you will almost certainly find this a little too basic. If so, pick another of Nagel s books (he is a truly great and interesting thinker).
