This book derives from decades of teaching in various schools across the country. It is based on thebelief that philosophy is a genuinely exciting subject, accessible not only to specialists and a fewgifted undergraduate majors but to everyone. Everyone is a philosopher, whether enrolled in aphilosophical course or not. The difference is that someone who has studied philosophysystematically has the advantage of having encountered stronger and more varied arguments thanmight have been available otherwise. What is special about this book is that it offers introductorystudents the opportunity of having direct contact with substantial readings from significant books onphilosophy, but without the unreasonable demand that they confront these books in full, which areoften incomprehensible.2006年1月翻译题没有盼头的日子是苍白不可想象的。

With it, indeed because of it, today the middle-class family expects each of its members to develop his unique personality, and so does each individual, more or less, himself. This new obligation of the family to provide a setting for the development of a unique personality makes family consensus extremely difficult, if not impossible. Nothing is more problematic for a small group of quite different, unique individuals than to live in close quarters, in close harmony with each other.
