‘Engaging, smart and wise, Mini-Philosophy is a diverse taster menu of ideas on life, the mind and the world. Nutritious, bite-sized portions of philosophy that whet the appetite for more’ - David Mitchell, author of Cloud Atlas and The Bone Clocks.
Why do people enjoy watching horror movies? Should we bet on the existence of God? Why is pleasure better than pain? And when is a duck not a duck? Mini Philosophy is a fascinating journey into what some of the greatest thinkers from the past 2500 years have to say about the big questions of life and why they are relevant to us today.
Covering everything from Sun Tzu's strategy for winning board games to Freud's ideas on our "death drive"; why de Beauvoir believed that the maternal instinct is a myth to why Schopenhauer probably wasn't much fun at parties, these mini-dialogues will expand your mind (and bend it too).
