About the Book

This is Not a Book will stretch your mind, put your neurons through their paces and challenge the foundations of your opinions and of knowledge itself. Filled with philosophical puzzles that have intrigued great minds of many nations for centuries, insoluble logical paradoxes and moral dilemmas, This is Not a Book provides an intellect workout that will force you to confront the consequences of your beliefs.   This is Not a Book is divided into four sections, reflecting the major fields of philosophy: Logic, Epistemology, Ethics and Metaphysics. Each section includes a subject overview and philosopher profiles, as well as quizzes, games and thought experiments which apply the tools of philosophy to ultimate questions and everyday life.   Thought-provoking and logic-defying, This is Not a Book will test your view on reality.
