Book Reviews of Philosophy: the Basics
Book Review: A comprehensive guide for all philosophy beginners.
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a 1st year theology student who always considered philosophy too high brow to even comtemplate reading.Warburton's books helped me overcome my concerns. He demythologises philosophy and gives beginners like me an opportunity to get to grips with concepts of philosophy.
Warburton helped me to a greater understanding in many areas. The first was the ontological argument. I read Anselm's Proslogion alongside Warburton's explanation and things became clear.
Do not expect to be given answers, the one thing about philosophy is that you have to think for yourself. The seeds that Warburton gives facilitate independant thought. The philosophical questions that last sentence generates is a point in fact.
