Ages 10 And Up

Philosophy is a way of thinking about just about anything. It asks big questions, such as "how can I be good?" or "what makes something beautiful?" Using lively examples, humorous illustrations and simple thought experiments, this book opens up the world of philosophy to children and adults with enquiring minds.

About the Author

She studied Maths and Philosophy at university and previously worked as a journalist and illustrator in London, Bogota and New York.
