| Abstract | This book introduces philosophy in an entertaining but informative and stimulating way. Using philosophical puzzles, conundrums and paradoxes, the author skilfully unwraps some of the mysteries of the subject, from what we know - or think we know - to brainteasing thought experiments about ethics, science and the nature of the mind. |
