It's a great summary of the history of contemporary philosophy. I certainly appreciated a succinct description of some of the most key philosophers and their ideas, as well as some of the initial movements that led to logical positivism, metaphysics, and the contemporary concepts of language. If looking to jump into philosophy, this would be a great place to start in laying the foundation. It's an easy read. Not as thick and heavy in its concepts. It tries to explain in a clear way, so that your average person can pick it up and understand
Excellent intro for a novice.
