What Philosophy Book Should I Start with?

 Bertrand Russell once said that 'science is what you know, philosophy you do not know' and when it comes to philosophy - I do not know enough. The enormity of the subject and the occasional intimacy may make it difficult for newborns to feel. Like finding the end of a one-piece sellotape, knowing where to start can be frustrating. In this national situation, you can do only one thing - ask the experts what they would recommend for the best philosophy books for beginners. Luckily for me, I was able to interview some of the best philosophical minds in the world.
