About the Book

Humans seemingly spring into existence out of nowhere with no explanations, no operations manuals, no "help menus", and no instructions or advice on what we are expected to do. The human species has had to start from scratch in trying to figure out what is going on, who we are, and what is the meaning of everything. Whereas the sciences try to understand how the world operates, and how we can effectively interact with it, philosophy is preoccupied with questions about the significance (meaning) of it all. This book is an introduction to philosophy.
