Non-profit organizations and other local "do-gooders" this is for you. Whether it's Big Brothers and Sisters or Trails 2000 get the word out. Many of us have time to give and enjoy giving it.
The great philosophers By Bryan Magee. I know of no better introduction to the history of philosophy than this volume, which is about as engaging as books on philosophy get. The conversations are easy to follow; no knowledge of arcane terminology is presupposed; and every attempt is made to bring out why these ideas are important and worthy of serious study today. Furthermore, the book's coverage is quite broad for its length of three hundred pages.
