This is a classic introduction to philosophy in the tradition of Bertrand Russell's The Problems of Philosophy and A.J. Ayer's Central Questions of Philosophy. As in those books, Margolis focuses on the core of Western Philosophy - questions of epistemology, ontology, language and logic. The book represents a major and authoritative mind revisiting basic problems and clarifying them both for their own sake and for that of the reader. Margolis shows how arguments concerning each of the chestnuts of Western philosophy are inter- related and argues (honestly and transparently) in favour of his own philosophical tradition, pragmatism. Thematically structured, the book introduces such concepts as Knowledge and Belief, Perception and Sensation, Identity and Individualism, Language and Truth.
