What is Philosophy Matters : an Introduction to Philosophy about?

Written For Those Who May Be Approaching The Subject For The First Time, Philosophy Matters Shows That Philosophy Is Crucial In Questioning Our Presuppositions, And For Helping Us To Establish Our Own Beliefs About The Nature Of The World. Anyone With An Interest In The Underlying Philosophical Origins Of Popular Notions About Reality Is Encouraged To Read This Book. Asserting That All Too Often We Take Ideas For Granted, It Shows How Even Common Sense Depends On The Philosophy Of Previous Generations. Philosophy Matters Takes On The Task Of Confronting And Elucidating The Important Philosophical Issues That Play Their Part In Guiding Our Lives Today. In The Process, It Also Shows That Philosophy Is Not A Sterile Intellectual Pursuit, But A Particularly Relevant And Practical Tool To Be Used In Gaining Knowledge Of Ourselves And Our Place In The World.--book Jacket.
