Description
Bite-sized bits of thought-provoking philosophy are explored in this book of brainteasers. Philosopher-authors Casati and Varzi use playlets, short fiction and imagined correspondence to explore philosophical conundrums ranging from time travel to the sinister ways mirrors work. The prose tends toward the roundabout (Cause and Time are addressed--is it reasonable to build a machine to travel back into the Past, and, by traveling back into the Past, one could induce changes in the Present?).
Language
Translated from the Italian.
