 Rating: - Good introductionI read through this book quickly and although I was already familiar with most of the material, I found that it it jogged my memory in a few areas. I have already read quite a lot of philosophy but there were one or two things that I learned from this book.

It is very well written using lucid and simple language, and Warburton has a very good sense of proportion: the most important issues get the most important treatment.

The book itself is clear and concise, making it excellent revision material. It covers all of the standard need to know topics and does so in an intelligent, factual manner! Definitly use this for A Level standards although I would not reccomend using it as a basis for research as it simply isn't detailed enough. Browse for similar items by category:
