Title: Beginner's best guide
Review: I'd say it's one of the best books out there for beginners. It takes controversial topics that are abtruse to neophytes and explains it in a simple, unbiased manner - always allowing two sides to argue the subject to the best of their abilities, neither lacking. I felt the chapter about God really covered the logic and ideas behind both sides; atheists and theists. In fact, for anyone I have met that shows interest in philosophy I recommend this book and The Story of Philosophy by Bryan Magee. This is one of the best books I know for beginners, though Bryan Magee's book is more for the intermediate, seeing as how it takes a short look at the studies, teachings and history of key philosophers throughout history, such as Plato, Socrates, Machavelli, Newton, etc. in a chronological order.My favorite chapter is the vegetarian chapter. Seeing as how I'm an ethical vegetarian, I feel it points out the flaw(s) in eating meat very well.
