Features: This book is an introductory guide for those interested in philosophy. Who created the world? Why do humans live? What is socialism? What is truly right? It is unlikely that anyone has never asked such questions. Therefore, to some extent, everyone is a philosopher. Philosophy can ultimately only be contemplated by oneself. The doubts that arise in daily life—those temporarily forgotten due to busy work or study—can be revisited and thoughtfully examined when one has leisure, seeking answers that are truly accepted. This search can only be undertaken by oneself. However, understanding the questions that predecessors have consistently pondered may greatly inspire one's own reflections. This book is written for those seeking such inspiration. It contains many illustrative examples to help readers grasp the issues philosophers have considered, and it is hoped that this book will serve as a starting point for all of you to delve deeper into these questions. If, after reading this book, philosophy, which may have previously seemed distant, becomes more relatable, the purpose of writing this book will have been achieved. The door to philosophy is not heavy, and it is hoped that this book will provide you with some inspiration for your own reflections.
