101 Dilemmas for the Armchair Philosopher

Author(s): Eric Chaline

Humanities / Society


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? Packed with moral dilemmas, thought-provoking scenarios and insights from history's greatest philosophers, this interactive and entertaining introduction to ethics will bring you face to face with some tough moral choices. Featuring 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. Ask yourself - and others - what you would do in each of these moral dilemmas based around real-life problems before comparing your answers with a philosophical perspective with some of history's greatest philosophers!
