The popular author and Boston College philosophy professor, Kreeft, presents this introduction to philosophy to help beginners not only to understand philosophy but to fall in love with it. In his forty years of teaching philosophy, Kreeft says the most effective way to accomplish this purpose is to read Socrates. Philosophy means "the love of wisdom." Kreeft uses the dialogues of Socrates in this book to help the reader grow in that love of wisdom. He says that no master of the art of philosophizing has ever been more simple, clear, and accessible to beginners as Socrates. He focuses on Plato's dialogues, the Apology of Socrates, as a model partner for the reader to dialogue with. Kreeft calls it "the Magna Carta of philosophy," a timeless classic that is "a portable classroom."

The great work deals with the S.E.L.F (Sacred Eternal Life Force) and purifying the temple ( body) so as to exist in a perpetual state of sublime and bring that light (Love) to the Earth Plane which is the upliftment of humanity and the binding/destruction and the casting out the beast (lower nature) in the Garden ( Consciousness). Be studious, be disciplined, be courageous (truthful), be Moor.
