''In a democracy, should everyone - absolutely everyone - get a vote? Does it really matter if tigers become extinct? Why does murder carry a heavier penalty than attempted murder? If you don't like the socks your grandma gives you for Christmas, should you tell her so? This entertaining introduction to ethics will bring you face to face with some tough moral choices. It presents you with 101 imaginative scenarios - sometimes amusing, sometimes tragic and sometimes uncomfortably realistic - which will force you to re-examine your most cherished assumptions about right and wrong. Including: the torturer with a conscience; the lady who can prevent enormous suffering for the price of a latte; and the man who is handy with his fists but not a killer, surely." -- Back cover.

An invitation to the habits of good thinking from philosopher Julian Baggini. By now, it should be clear: in the face of disinformation and disaster, we cannot hot take, life hack, or meme our way to a better future. But how should we respond instead? In How to Think like a Philosopher, Julian Baggini turns to the study of reason itself for practical solutions to this question, inspired by our most eminent philosophers, past and present. Baggini offers twelve key principles for a more humane, balanced, and rational approach to thinking: pay attention; question everything (including your questions); watch your steps; follow the facts; watch your language; be eclectic; be a psychologist; know what matters; lose your ego; think for yourself, not by yourself; only connect; and don’t give up. Each chapter is chockful of real-world examples showing these principles at work—from the discovery of penicillin to the fight for trans rights—and how they lead to more thoughtful conclusions. More than a book of tips and tricks (or ways to be insufferably clever at parties), How to Think like a Philosopher is an invitation to develop the habits of good reasoning that our world desperately needs.

The goal of this book is to encourage the reader to think and laugh. Utilizing common sense, humor, and wit, this book follows in a long tradition of Armchair Philosophy, written specifically for the general public. Thomas More's Utopia is a fine example of Armchair Philosophy. In it, he tried to envision a nation in the New World built on common sense and common courtesy. In English, the prose is pure poetry, and the humor is magical. Bertrand Russell published The History of Western Philosophy out of a concern that Western Philosophy had become too arcane and intellectual to be relevant to the general public. While academic, Russell's book is full of profound insights and humor. Armchair Philosophy is another approach to this challenge. This book is less than one hundred pages long because, in an era of sound bites and tweets, very few of us have the time or patience for a book that is longer. It uses a large book format and a type size that is easy to read, giving it a twenty-first-century look and feel. Finally this book explores the nature of being safe, using wit, humor, and common sense.
