Ask A Philosopher Av Ian Olasov

<p><b>The perfect gift for the smart thinker in your life.</b><br><br>For several years Ian Olasov has set up 'Ask-a-Philosopher' booths around New York City, answering questions from passersby. Now in this book he offers answers to the real-life questions on people's minds.<br><br>From the philosophical to the frivolous, questions include:<br><i>- Are people innately good or bad?<br>- Is it okay to have a pet fish?<br>- Is it okay to have kids?<br>- Is colour subjective?<br>- If humans colonise Mars, who will own the land?<br>- Is ketchup a smoothie?<br>- Is there life after death?<br>- Should I give money to homeless people?</i><br>Every question is approached from a philosophical standpoint, but the answer is made fun and accessible for everyone. <br><br>One of the many joys of this book is that you see how philosophy can be both perfectly continuous with everyday life and also utterly transporting.</p>
