The book is ok, has many examples but it is repetative, boring, and does not always answer what it asks.

Abel has created a superb introduction to the often esoteric topic of Philosophy in "Man is the Measure". I am a student in the International Baccalaureate Program at a high school in Arizona where this is the core book for our learning the Theory of Knowledge. After reading this book I can seriously say that my grasp of the "Central Problems of Philosophy" has been broadened to actual understanding and appreciation. The author is able to convey his message in a conversational way that doesn't come across as overly instructional. The main points are set off from the prose of the text and are thoroughly outlined which allow the reader to comprehend what is being said. Reoccurring concepts are tied in throughout the book as well. This book is recommended for any student of philosophy or anyone who has always pondered the questions of the universe. Abel has truly made Philosophy inviting.
