Delightful selection of essays

I am using this book as a text for my Introduction to Philosophy class. It is simply an excellent selection of essays to introduce students to the various disciplines of philosophy. The preceding questions to each reading are thoughtful and well focused, but the simplicity of the book appeals to me. That, plus the essays which show that philosophical writing need not be dull!
