This book is a rescue operation for students of philosophy. It is a life-line thrown to the philosophical neophytes being tossed around by the waves of philosophical opinions. This book is a panoramic view of philosophy. It is an attempt to clarify and articulate philosophical concepts that seem mystifying to beginners in philosophical pursuit. It is an attempt at bringing order and sanity into the jumble of opinions and systems that have come to characterized the philosophical enterprise. It is a book of introduction to philosophy with very special features indeed. It makes philosophy not only simple but clearer, deeper, and a more pleasant activity.
