Philosophy is a popular and
difficult subject. Students taking philosophy courses in university are often at
a loss for how to appreciate the strange problems they are taught. They either
do not see there is a problem or feel that the problem is utterly trivial. The
laymen are also captivated by the title "philosophy"; but once philosophical
problems are systematically presented to them, they find the technicalities
involved obscure, pretentious and unnecessary.
Twenty Problems in Philosophy is written to introduce reasonably motivated
laymen and university students taking philosophy courses to the core problems of
philosophy. These problems are presented in the way they are taught in a
university, and yet the materials are packaged in a concise and accessible
style. The coverage of this book is so broad that ten sub-disciplines of the
philosophy curriculum are broached. This book is thus a complete mini-guide to
contemporary western philosophy that is taught in a tertiary institution.
