Does Farmer Field really know his prize cow, Daisy, is in the
field? When is an unexpected exam not wholly unexpected? Are all
bachelors (really) unmarried? Martin Cohen's 101 Philosophy
Problems, Fourth Edition introduces philosophy in an entertaining
but informative and stimulating way. Using philosophical puzzles,
conundrums and paradoxes he skilfully unwraps some of the mysteries
of the subject, from what we know - or think we know - to
brainteasing thought experiments about ethics, science and the
nature of the mind. For the Fourth Edition there are many new
problems, including Maxwell's Moving Magnets, Einstein Changes
Train Times, and Zeno's Paradox of Place; as well as two brand new
sections including puzzles such as Lorenz's Waterywheel, and the
Battle for Fractal Farm, and perplexing ethical dilemmas. The book
has been extensively revised to bring it up to date with new
developments in philosophy and society. With an updated glossary of
helpful terms and possible solutions to the problems at the end of
the book, 101 Philosophy Problems is essential reading for anyone
coming to philosophy for the first time.
