To say I'm not an expert on philosophy is an understatement. In fact I know very little about the subject. So I'd like some advice please...
What I want is a good book which introduces the main philosophical viewpoints, explains what they are, how accepted they are, and describes their basic implications. I'd prefer something reasonably recent.
It needs to be very much an introductory level book; not exactly Janet-and-John, but easily accessible to somebody with no prior knowledge.
Any suggestions?
