The Pig That Wants to Be Eaten: 100 Experiments for the Armchair Philosopher by Julian Baggini

5.0

I love philosophy, and I love thought experiments. This book was on sale, so I grabbed a copy, and it’s everything I hoped for. It’s 100 short chapters with different philosophical thought experiments, but Baggini introduces each one with a fictional story. Then, he dives into where the thought experiment comes from and why it matters in our daily lives. I loved this book, and it’s going on my list of books to read with my son. You can sit down, read one a day or whatever you want just as a way to get your wheels turning and strengthen your critical thinking muscle.
