- Is life just one big dream?
- Could a robot be made to think?
- What rights do animals have?
- Is it ever okay to lie?
Asking questions like these can be a very tricky business - many of them have been puzzled over for thousands of years. When we start to think about things we've always taken for granted, we can end up with some surprising results.
Big Questions is full of fascinating and challenging questions about the world around us, questions that have provoked arguments and puzzled great thinkers for centuries. Broken down into short, manageable sections, it begins with seemingly simple, everyday problems that are easy to follow before taking readers step-by-step on an incredible adventure in thinking?
