Abstract
A new edition of Stephan korner’s valuable introduction to fundamental issues of philosophy, for those who have not previously studied them.
In a lucid appraisal of a constantly developing discipline, he discusses the diverse problems which philosophers throughout the ages have attempted to tackle, and the methods they have chosen to apply.
He also traces what is, to him, the most fascinating aspect of the subject-the connections between the different problems and the links between philosophy and other disciplines.
