What is Philosophy for Beginners about?

What is knowledge? Can we prove that God exists? What makes something beautiful, and how can we decide what is right? This engaging introduction explores the big questions that philosophers have asked throughout history. Through lively examples, humorous illustrations and thought experiments, readers are encouraged to challenge their assumptions and develop their own ideas. Topics include the mind, politics, logic, language, identity, time and the meaning of life, with plenty of opportunities to discuss, debate and think differently.
