What are philosophers trying to achieve? How can they succeed? Does philosophy make progress? Is it in competition with science, or doing something completely different, or neither? Timothy Williamson tackles some of the key questions surrounding philosophy in new and provocative ways, showing how philosophy begins in common sense curiosity, and develops through our capacity to dispute rationally with each other. Discussing philosophy's ability to clarify our thoughts, he explains why such clarification depends on the development of philosophical theories, and how those theories can be tested by imaginative thought experiments, and compared against each other by standards similar to those used in the natural and social sciences. He also shows how logical rigour can be understood as a way of enhancing the explanatory power of philosophical theories. Drawing on the history of philosophy to provide a track record of philosophical thinking's successes and failures, Williams overturns widely held dogmas about the distinctive nature of philosophy in comparison to the sciences, demystifies its methods, and considers the future of the discipline. From thought experiments, to deduction, to theories, this Very Short Introduction will cause you to totally rethink what philosophy is.

I think it runs big. Otherwise good. Poor packaging though.
Color: Light Blue, Size: Large
I ordered a Large. I am 5’ 9 1/2”. Fit, 170lbs (athletic/slim build). The Large was noticeably too big. Looked “sloppy”, like it fit once and then I lost a bunch of weight. That said, the material/weight was very nice. This is a nicely made, casual blazer. Will look good with jeans/khakis or dressier pants. REALLY nice for the price (I got it on sale, 50% off ($31.99) though. Maybe a push, or nicer ones for $60/70, but I’d still say a good value. Packaged in a bag as people have mentioned. I’ve returned for a medium & will probably have to take to the dry cleaner immediately to have pressed, but still worth it.
UPDATE: returned for a size M. Much better fit for my size. This one was packaged nicer too. Still in a bag, but folded nicely enough to wear right away. I’m planning on buying more colors.

Horrible quality and service
Color: Navy Blue, Size: Medium
The quality of the jacket is horrible. After the jacket was returned unused. The company kept trying to say it was never returned. Was able to provide Amazon with the tracking from UPS showing it was delivered and signed for. Amazon issued the refund. 4 months later now, the company is trying g to charge me again for the jacket. Was able to prove again to Amazon the item was signed for when returned. Amazon is issuing a refund again. Do not trust this company with your credit card. They will continue to try and charge you months later.
