Train Your Brain With Philosophy Puzzles!
Contrary to popular belief, you don’t have to delve into Plato’s Republic in order to do philosophy. It’s really as simple as giving some thought to questions that are philosophical in nature. But where to start?
There are a lot of fantastic resources out there for grown-ups, but I’m partial to books by Peter Cave. Peter presents philosophy to his readers by posing seemingly silly questions that don’t really have a clear answer, but which open up all sorts of discussion on important issues. His books are funny, engaging, and a great way to slip a little deep thought into one’s day. I’ve brought them with me into the classroom, and I’ve given them as gifts to nimble-minded friends.
Some of his more popular titles include:
- Do Llamas Fall in Love?
- What’s Wrong With Eating People?
- Can a Robot Be Human?
Check out Peter’s website, for more information, and for some interesting tidbits.
