I'm reading The Problems of Philosophy by Bertrand Russell. It's a pleasing introduction to some of the basic problems. The jargon is minimal, and the explanations are, I think, as clear as could be hoped for. The final chapter, The Value of Philosophy, which I read first for its catching title, is a good place to begin if you are tempted to think, as I was, that philosophy has little of value to offer us today.
