Disillusionment with psychology is leading more and more people to formal philosophy for clues about how to think about life. But most of us who try to grapple with concepts such as reality, truth, common sense, consciousness, and society lack the rigorous training to discuss them with any confidence.

The author stresses that there is a real world out there to deal with, and condemns the belief that the reality of our world is dependent on our perception of it.
