دانلود کتاب The Pig That Wants to be Eaten: And 99 other thought experiments

Is it right to eat a pig that wants to be eaten?

Thought experiments are short scenarios that pose a moral or philosophical problem in a vivid and concrete way. In this book Julian Baggini presents 100 of the most intriguing thought experiments from the history of philosophy and ideas.

'This book is like the Sudoku of moral philosophy: apply your mind to any of its "thought experiments" while stuck on the Tube, and quickly be transported out of rush-hour hell' New Statesman 'Baggini's thought experiments provide an enjoyable work-out for the mind' London Review of Books.

'An engaging read ... Baggini has a light touch but some of his scenarios resonate in some pretty dark corners ... intelligent, lively but off-the-wall... a clever book, nicely produced. It's one to which I'll keep returning - whenever I feel like an argument and have nobody to argue with' GEORGE ROSIE, Sunday Herald (Glasgow).

'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' Scotland on Sunday.

'Thinking again is what this taut, incisive, bullet-hard book is dedicated to promoting' JOHN CAREY, Sunday Times.
