Happy Mind: The Philosophy and Science of Happiness

Katherine Power reviews Think: A Compelling Introduction to Philosophy by Simon Blackburn.

 

A clear introduction to the main questions of philosophy by the author of the The Oxford Dictionary of Philosophy. This isn't a big tome, but an accessible little book, which fits nicely in your bag and is fun to dip in, should you feel in the mood for some thinking about how much we can really say we know, or whether we have free will, or maybe what the relationship between the mind and the body is.

 

Useful as a quick reference and revision aid too, or to get a taste of philosophy if you are wondering whether this could be the subject for you.
