101

I have not finished it yet, but it seems to be a very intersting book, more of a brain-teaser then really a philosphy book. Diiscussions at the end of the book are not solutions, but more stuff to think about.A C Tort

A very good intro to Philosophy. Recommended!

No matter how hard I tried, I never could finish a whole book on philosophy. This is the first one I made through. It's not the common books that talked a lot on one or a few particular concepts or philosophists, but many short, interesting and life relevant "questions" with partial...

masterpiece of eccentric genius

I have read both the English edition and now have the Chinese edition too. I quite agree with what it says about the book, viz: this is a masterpiece of eccentric genius with a world-sweeping humorous philosophy. After all, does philosophy have to be cut and dried and boring? Dr Martin Cohen,...

almost iconoclastic

MYWYB2's main problem with the book (see review below) -- apart from alleged problems with style and translation -- is that he seems to miss its point. "Philosophy Problems" covers more or less the entire depth and breadth of philosophy, in other words an entire library. This is not a book for...

Reviews are not quite what they seem, sometimes

I haven't read the German edition, of course..., but in my English edition, Martin Cohen DOES say quite a lot about Bertrand Russell (with two 'ls' anyway) , in fact, he is obviously one of his favourite philosophers. Russell's paradox IS mentioned several times - I imagine that Kurt Goedel...

Ancient thinking is better than know-all thinking

A triumph. He shows how relevant many ancient thinkers are to our modern lives, and reclaims them for a new generation.

Good intro to philosophy in general.

From the basics of ethics through the considerations of existence to the importance of the soul - this book provides simple anecdotes implementing the major questions in philosophy. It allows the reader to ponder upon the answers but in addition, it provides a semi-answer guide in the back,...

Fun AND educational! :)

This is the only book I've actually brought to school and read aloud to my friends at the lunchtable, an activity previously reserved for fashion magazines, social emails and last-minute textbook readings. Personally I would be happy to sit around reading Plato or Aristotle, but the average...

Ideal for teaching

I know this is supposed to be a bad thing, often, but really this book lends itself to teaching. I found the teaching tips on using the book on the same site as 'The Philosopher' when I went to look up their reviews, and these last few weeks I have been using some of the problems in class -...

ANOTHER COOL BOOK FROM ROUTLEDGE

Routledge publishes great books on philosophy for the general reader, and this one is no exception. A clever introduction to philosophical issues through examinations of 101 problems, some familiar to readers of philosophy and some less so. The glossary is fun reading also, though american...
