"What Vlach has done with his new publication is take 101 very complicated ideas and give enough information about each one to generate a big picture in the reader’s mind, and perhaps spark a curiousity that would lead to further study. At once informative and easy to read, Philosophy 101 is a book any philosophy student will find helpful." --Zach Freeman, Blogger News Network
