An Intelligent Person's Guide to Philosophy by Roger Scruton

3.0

I didn't read the dust jacket carefully enough when selecting this book. I was hoping for more of a "guide" in terms of a descriptive, brief discussion of the field of philosophy. Instead, this is the author's application of philosophy to common life questions about morality, God, etc. Apparently, the author has written other books that are more introductory in nature and I probably should have started there. This book was well written, though, and generally interesting but I think some background information would have been helpful for me personally.
