Here, the author has made an accessible and overwhelming stint as a successful street vendor of philosophical answers into a book and explains everything in terms anyone can understand regardless of their education. Just because a person may lack the capacity to fully understand the often lyrical, convoluted and/or complex ways in which these writings usually lean does not mean they shouldn't be privy to the conversation surrounding that particular question or whatever question they may have. Of course, many people with varying degrees of interest and prior knowledge of philosophical concepts ask themselves the same questions about our existence and purpose for living to name only one and perhaps the most asked question of them all. Ask a Philosopher is a superb book as quite simply the one complaint I generally hear about philosophy is that to a layperson it is inaccessible, and despite having read a large number of philosophy books over the years I agree that the general population can often have issues understanding and comprehending exactly what is being discussed.
