"'An excellent introduction to philosophy for anyone interested in the area, be they students or not, Plato's Sun is not just a book about philosophy, it is philosophy. Readers engage the text by doing philosophy, even if they aren't aware they are. Andrew Lawless's comprehensive review of the Western philosophical tradition, including the ideas of most major philosophers is enjoyable and easy to read. This is truly a first rate text.' Christopher D. Viger, Department of Philosophy, University of Western Ontario"
