Philosophy Illustrated, Paperback/Helen De Cruz

Descriere & specificații

Thought experiments are tools philosophers and scientists use to investigate how things are, without actually having to go out and experiment in the real world. This book presents forty-two philosophical thought experiments. Each thought experiment is illustrated by De Cruz (who is an illustrator as well as a philosopher), and is summarized in one or two paragraphs, which is followed by a brief exploration of its significance. Each thought experiment also includes a longer (approximately 2-page) reflection, written by a philosopher who is a specialist in the field. De Cruz's unique illustrations serve as visual and accessible starting points for classroom discussions in Intro to Philosophy courses. Helen De Cruz holds the Danforth Chair in the Humanities at Saint Louis University, Department of Philosophy. She is the author of Religious Disagreement (2019), and co-editor of the volume Philosophy through Science Fiction Stories (2021).
