Don’t look now, but philosophy is entering the mainstream. A recent Sunday newspaper even included an article on how people are consulting philosophers, rather than psychiatrists, for help in dealing with life’s problems.

I suspect this development appeals to Ronald Nash, who has taught philosophy for more than 40 years and now does so at Reformed Theological Seminary in Orlando. For while this work is designed as an introductory textbook, it could profitably be read by anyone interested in how the world’s great thinkers have tackled some of the world’s toughest questions. It would benefit anyone who would like to think clearly about thinking clearly.

An uncluttered format, non-technical writing, and generous use of illustrations make this book a valuable addition to a pastor’s or teacher’s library.
