Using an issues-and-options approach, in a handbook format, this text deals with each major topic in philosophy by using a succinct, relevant, and readable presentation and critique of the representative options within each topic.
Book was required for my Philosophy class. It arrived fast and I actually learned a lot from it. It was well written.
A Great Book for Beginning Students.

In 1968, when I got back from Vietnam and went back to college, my first Philosophy course used the first edition of this work as a supplemental text. It worked so well that I consulted it all the way through my undergraduate education. In 1978, when I got my first job teaching Philosophy, I chose to incorporate what was then the third edition in my Introductory classes. Good books tend to last and go into reprints and newer editions. I have used every subsequent edition and, at this time (2004), I am using the ninth edition of INVITATION TO PHILOSOPHY -- and I plan to stay with every newest edition of the text until I retire. It works!!!
