In this user-friendly book, he chooses to introduce philosophy by doing it. Taking the discipline beyond theory and \"intellectualism,\" he presents it in an empirical, accessible, and practical light. The result is not a history of the field but a vivid, energetic, and personal account to guide the reader making his or her own venture into philosophy. Addressing a range of subjects from freedom, God, reality, and morality, to sex, music, and history, Scruton argues philosophy's relevance not just to intellectual questions, but to contemporary life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRoger Scruton is the author of a number of books, including \u003cb\u003eModern Philosophy\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003eA Short History of Philosophy\u003c\/b\u003e.
