An intelligently truthful book that explores the uneven landscape of the human intellect. An accessible introduction to philosophy, this book narrows the gap between the general reader and intellectual inquiry.

In asking important questions about human nature and nature in general, Abel shows that Man truly is the Measure of all things. Take History as an example. With the subjective nature of history and the human predilection for storytelling, is it really possible to view Human History with an Objective eye? The book argues that you can't since all historians view history through a lens of their own experiences and personal situations.
There isn’t really much else to say about this book, I enjoyed it well enough. It did not go into depth with any analysis or ideas, but it did bring up a lot of themes covered by Philosophy. ( )
