Book excerpt: "Socrates once complained in the Protagoras that eloquent orators and books are alike in that they provide massive amounts of information, "but if one asks any of them an additional question . . . they cannot either answer or ask a question on their own account."

Instead of simply presenting information for you to passively absorb, its many exercises require your active involvement, and some will even provide the opportunity for you to dialogue with your friends about the philosophical issues discussed. For this reason, I chose the title The Philosophical Journey: An Interactive Approach"--
