The Philosophy Gym: 25 Short Adventures in Thinking

A philosopher takes readers on a lively tour through some of life’s biggest questions in this “vivid, enlightening introduction to clear thinking” (Philip Pullman, author of His Dark Materials).

From Descartes to designer babies, The Philosophy Gym poses questions about some of history’s most important philosophical issues, ranging in difficulty from pretty easy to very challenging. Philosopher Stephen Law brings new perspectives to age-old conundrums while also tackling modern-day dilemmas—some for the first time.

At The Philosophy Gym, you can begin your warmup by contemplating whether a pickled sheep can truly be considered art, or dive right in and tackle the existence of God. In this new and accessible way of engaging with philosophy, Law illustrates the problem with a story, then lets the argument battle it out in clear and intelligent prose. This compact volume is sure to give your mind a great workout.
