Philosophy is hard. Reading, that is, reading actively in order to truly expand one's understanding and then building this process into a lifelong reading habit is hard. Philosophy demands this kind of reading. Reading philosophy, therefore, is a difficult undertaking, but one that is eminently perfectible and enjoyable with the right kind of help. This book and books in this series aim to provide you with that help. This book is for you if you are deeply interested in philosophy and want to read systematically, but do not know where to begin. It is for you if you are looking for or will benefit from study materials to support and guide your reading process. It is for you if you are reading, have read, intend to read, or are curious and considering reading Philosophy: A Very Short Introduction by Edward Craig. This book is the first in a short reading course on the theme of "Survey of Modern Western Philosophy" that is part of our series, Reading Philosophy.
