Review: because they aren't satisfied with what is presented - Having only a cursory exposure to the study of Philosophy, this work was very helpful. If you are looking for a start at the very basic level, that is the Author's goal, and I think he does it very well. I have seen some negative comments of being an attempt to steer people to a particular belief, I disagree. The Author is very up front regarding personal experiences that have shaped his perceptions of things before he ever found and interest in Philosophy. I wonder about some of the comments: If they read the beginning of the book, the, "About it Book", section in particular; He is very up front; if he didn't give some idea of the process he used to reach HIS conclusions (also something to think about), it would be a work as interesting as the teacher in, "Ferris Buller's Day Off". If it does offend offend someone's sensibilities in what truth is, who never delved into the Philosophy of it or the Philosophical Arguments before, and it gets them thinking as well as looking deeper into the arguments, because they aren't satisfied with what is presented; Hasn't the Author achieved one of his stated goals? It got them interested. He does a great job of introducing and exploring the definitions, and terms, used in the world of studying philosophy. To someone who has no idea what the premise of materialism is, they will come away knowing it's not who believes in acquiring as much stuff as you can. So in applying that example to the rest of the, "isms", out there - is the mission not accomplished?
Review: The unexamined life is not worth living. - Tom Morris presents a user friendly guide into the ancient discipline of philosophy. He calls us to wrestle with the great questions: The nature of knowledge, questions about death (and life after death) and ultimately, is there a God. Now while I understand some of the criticims of this book, I believe them to be unfounded. True, I bought the book to get an understanding of philosophy NOT for theistic apologetics; however, Tom provides a clear, step-by-step roadmap to why philosophy ultimately leads a rational person to a belief in God. Tom sets out to make philosophy fun and accessible and mission accomplished. To often are we distracted by the things in this world and we don't ask the real questions that matter. Blaise Pascal thought this a shame and it's clear that Tom agrees. What's more, he's put forward a convincing case why the reader should as well. I think this book will benefit not just the person curious about philosophy but the person who is willing to see the distractions of this life for that they really are, distractions, and to begin wrapping their mind around the most fundamental questions. Highly recommend.

I have seen some negative comments of being an attempt to steer people to a particular belief, I disagree.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The unexamined life is not worth living.
*by S***E on October 20, 2012*

Tom Morris presents a user friendly guide into the ancient discipline of philosophy. He calls us to wrestle with the great questions: The nature of knowledge, questions about death (and life after death) and ultimately, is there a God. Now while I understand some of the criticims of this book, I believe them to be unfounded. True, I bought the book to get an understanding of philosophy NOT for theistic apologetics; however, Tom provides a clear, step-by-step roadmap to why philosophy ultimately leads a rational person to a belief in God.

Highly recommend.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Yes, but
*by R***N on March 20, 2006*

I wanted a readable introduction to philosophy, and Morris provided that. The book was entertaining and informative and did not throw me, sink or swim, into some deep philosophical pool. I found the author to be fair in his presentation, leaving me to chart a sovereign course. So I recommend this book. But do not follow it up with the author's recent works. Something seems to have happened to Tom Morris on his way from Notre Dame to The Morris Institute for Human Values. Today he sounds more like a salesman than a professor.
