    "Philosophy is a way of thinking about things- from what the world around us is like, to what beauty is, to the existence of God. These are BIG questions, and to get the bottom of them, philosophers ask BIG questions."
    Have you ever been asked "How can you be sure that the sun will rise tomorrow?" Or something like "I don't think your friend is beautiful!?". It seems that the question and answer always revolves around us, and maybe each person will have his or her own answer. Why is there such a difference in perception?!

     Philosophy for beginners is the answer for me. It not only appears alone, but it is a separate and very wide field for us to explore. In the first pages of research, the book shows us the aspects in which Philosophy appears including Epistemology, Religion, Mind, Metaphysics, Ethics, Aesthetics, Political Theory, Logic and language, etc. We appear and accompany human life in an invisible but extremely tight way. Those things are certain and it will become uncertain when you find out philosophy. "Is there a set of equal, free and happy laws that are suitable for all?".
     Particularly, from that one story through the lens of each person, it their own different lessons. This is because many philosophers have rejected the idea that language and words have a fixed definition. They argue that the meaning of a word depends on how it is used in a sentence, how it is expressed, and the language itself.
     In my opinion, this is like a journey of learning about different ways of thinking and behaving through psychology and philosophy. Not too many technical words, simple examples in normal life which accurately describe the problem posed through each page. Thanks to that, you can both learn philosophy out there and in yourself.
