About the book >.>.> why have you started reading this book? Philosophers should avoid guessing but my guess is that you already know a few things about philosophy and you want to know more. Or at the very least you have come across the word ‘philosophy’ before and you want to know what it means. Perhaps you already know a fair bit about philosophy ? hav- ing studied it at college or university or in prison ? but believe that knowing about philosophy and being a philosopher are very different things. Philosophers if I am one should really avoid assuming anything but on this occasion instead of assuming that you the reader know something about philosophy which you probably do I’m going to force myself to assume that you know absolutely nothing about philo- sophy. You have lived on this earth for however long you are intelli- gent enough and have become educated enough to be able to read this book. More to the point you want to read this book; a remarkable thing in itself in an age when ignorance is the new intelligence. None- theless the meaning and significance of philosophy totally passed you by like the proverbial ship in the night. You have heard of psychology and sociology even physiology psychiatry and philately but philo- sophy just got overlooked somehow like a city you’ve never visited though you are well travelled like a visitor who called at your door dur- ing the 5 short minutes you were in the shower.
