Where did the universe come from? Is time travel possible? Is it morally acceptable to create designer babies? If you have ever asked yourself such questions, then you have already begun to think philosophically. This book is for those who want to take the next step.
Written in a clear, straightforward and highly accessible style, 'The Philosophy Gym' will soon have you thinking like a philosopher.
Each chapter is a dizzying adventure in philosophy. You will be thinking without a safety net, exploring some of the world's most extraordinary puzzles and mysteries and getting to grips with some of its deepest thinkers. Prepare to have some of your most fundamental beliefs challenged.
The book combines a number of different styles: dialogue between characters, illustrative stories, thought experiments and cartoons. And there are 'thinking tools' to help you puzzle things out. The chapters are pitched at different levels - warm up, moderate or more challenging - so you will always find something to suit your mood.
