to any of its "thought experiments" while stuck on the Tube, and
quickly be transported out of rush-hour hell

Thinking again is what this taut, incisive, bullet-hard book is
dedicated to promoting
*Sunday Times*

quandaries

An engaging read ... It's one to which I'll keep returning -
whenever I feel like an argument and have nobody to argue with
*Sunday Herald*
An eloquent and engaging introduction to the major philosophical
quandaries about identity, knowledge, morality and rationality.It
is the best kind of popularising work: amusing enough to provide an
easy way into difficult questions, but uncompromising in terms of
the meanings deduced from the fables

Baggini frames various philosophical conundrums so that we focus on
the nub of the matter without the extraneous considerations that
complicate them in real life... helpfully cross- referenced and
ideal for reading aloud
