This text begins by explaining what philosophy is before exploring the questions and issues at the foundation of this important subject. Key topics and their areas of focus include: Epistemology - what our knowledge of the world and ourselves consists in, and how we come to have it; philosophy of science - foundational conceptual issues in scientific research and practice; philosophy of mind - what it means for something to have a mind, and how minds should be understood and explained; moral philosophy - the nature of our moral judgements and reactions, whether they aim at some objective moral truth, or are mere personal or cultural preferences, and; metaphysics - fundamental conceptual questions about the nature of reality.
