Description

‘Baggini offers us a tempting smorgasbord of some of the most baffling, weird and occasionally downright creepy scenarios ever envisaged… Enjoy these mind-boggling tales from the outer limit of thought’ Guardian Is it right to eat a pig that wants to be eaten? Are you really reading this book cover, or are you in a simulation? If God is all-powerful, could he create a square circle? Here are 100 of the most intriguing thought experiments from the history of philosophy and ideas - questions to leave you inspired, informed and scratching your head, dumbfounded. A collection of short, accessible philosophical quandaries to stimulate, challenge and entertain. ‘This book is like the Sudoku of moral philosophy: apply your mind to any of its “thought experiments” while stuck on the Tube, and quickly be transported out of rush-hour hell’ New Statesman
