Peter Cave offers the chance to expose just how logically and fairly you are able to reason with 33 interesting scenarios.
The variety of subjects is broad enough to give everyone several situations in which they may find themselves having to test their phillosophical ability.

If you're inquisitive at all about your environment or why you're here or does a god exist then this book is a must. Written in a much simpler language than many of its counterparts it is a joy to read and should not be intimidating for even a new thinker.

This is a brilliant read! wonderfully written by the author with great style and humour. This should interest everyone - as it covers a wide range of topics, from ethics to religion to science to metaphysics, but in an entertaining way (even with the odd cartoon).
Brilliantly written and huge fun to read October 28, 2007

What I love about this book is that it covers a lot of ground, but makes it very easy to understand the debates around each of the 33 problems and the reasons why they are problems. Peter Cave's characteristically witty style also makes this a much easier read than it should be given the complexity of the subjects of each chapter.

Peter Cave manages to make his 33 'perplexing philosophy puzzles' at turns funny, touching and, believe it or not, sexy. His clear, pellucid style makes even the most difficult problem easier to understand.
