The book introduces six fundamental philosophical concepts: philosophy, language, knowledge, truth, being, and the good, while also guiding readers in the processes of philosophical thinking. Aimed at both students and general readers, it also offers fresh insights for specialists. Its clear and engaging style makes complex ideas accessible, and the second revised English edition, following a successful German version, is poised to serve as an essential textbook for an international audience.
