About the Book: Man Is the Measure
An intelligently truthful book that explores the uneven landscape of the human
intellect. An accessible introduction to philosophy, this book narrows the gap
between the general reader and intellectual inquiry. Its points are illustrated
with concrete examples that should call the reader to a higher level of critical
thinking and self-perception.
