    Your First Philosophy Book, on a par with Russell's A History of Western Philosophy, is a must-read for an introduction to philosophy and has been translated and published in twenty languages. In this little book, Nagel, a leading figure in contemporary Western philosophy, uses vivid language, superb analytical skills, and profound and dispassionate insight to fully demonstrate to us the true purpose of philosophical thinking. He tells us how to know the existence of the external world; how to know the existence of the minds of others; how to judge the right and wrong behavior; how to face the fear of death; And how to find the meaning of life.
