In this witty and mischievous book, philosopher Peter Cave dissects
the most controversial disputes today and uses philosophical
argument to reveal that many issues are less straightforward than
we'd like to believe. Leaving no sacred cow standing, Cave uses
ingenious stories and examples to challenge our most strongly held
assumptions. Is democracy inherently a good thing? What is the
basis of so-called human rights? Is discrimination always bad? Are
we morally obliged to accept refugees? In an age of identity
politics and so-called 'fake news', this book is an essential
resource for reinvigorating genuine public debate - and an
entertaining challenge to accepted wisdom.
