Biographical note
Stephen Law was a school dropout who became a postman in Cambridge, then took a degree in philosophy at Oxford, becoming a Junior Research Fellow at the Queen's College. He now teaches philosophy at Heythrop College, University of London. He has published a number of books including THE PHILOSOPHY FILES and THE PHILOSOPHY GYM..I can't recommend this reissue highly enough ... It's funny, energetic and creative.
THE BOOKBAG
A brilliantly entertaining introduction to philosophy. This edition collects The Philosophy Files and The Philosophy Files 2 together in one omnibus.
Is there a God? Should I eat meat? Where does the universe come from? Could I live for ever as a robot? These are the big questions you will be wrestling with.
You'll encounter lively scenarios and dialogue to take you through the philosophical puzzles that have been plaguing humans for centuries involving virtual reality, science fiction and a host of characters from this and other planets.
Stephen Law has a gift for communicating complex ideas. He offers few answers, but his unstuffy, highly personal approach will have the reader thinking and arguing with as much pleasure as he does himself.
