Short review: One of the better of the Very Short Introduction series. It has very good concept. The author looks at three questions and how Philosophy has answered them. This discussion is about half of the book and does give a good overview of the concept of how philosophy works. The last half of the book is a bit of odds and ends, but it does round out the ideas of philosophy. Certainly an introduction of this length can't do everything, but this does a good job.
