*The Big Think Book*, Discover Philosophy Through 99 Perplexing Problems,
Peter Cave (Bloomsbury 2015)

*About the book:*
A thorough introduction to Philosophy. Without the boring bits.
Is it morally acceptable to kill one person to save five? How do we know
the sun will rise tomorrow? Can a robot be human?
In philosophy, the questions range from the wonderful to the strange, and
from the ridiculous to the very serious indeed.
With the aid of tall stories, jokes, common sense and bizarre insights,
Peter Cave addresses some of the biggest issues in the subjects of ethics,
knowledge, logic, politics, emotions, metaphysics and more. Replete with
amusing and mind-boggling examples, *The Big Think Book* is the perfect
gift for anyone who likes to puzzle over the conundrums of life and is an
ideal introduction for new students of philosophy.

*Peter Cave* is a lecturer in philosophy at The Open University and City
University, London. He frequently contributes to philosophy magazines and
journals, from the serious to the fun, lectures around the world, and has
scripted and presented philosophy programmes for the BBC.
