Boston College philosophy professor Peter Kreeft presents this introduction to philosophy to help beginners not only to understand philosophy but to fall in love with it. Kreeft says the most effective way to accomplish this purpose is to read Socrates. Philosophy means “the love of wisdom." Kreeft uses the dialogues of Socrates to help the reader grow in that love of wisdom. He says that no master of the art of philosophizing has ever been more simple, clear, and accessible to beginners as Socrates. He focuses on Plato's dialogues, the Apology of Socrates, as a model partner for the reader. Kreeft calls it “the Magna Carta of philosophy”, a timeless classic that is “a portable classroom."
