Philosophers Take On the World

Every day the news contains provocative stories from around the world - stories that raise complex moral questions. In Philosophers Take On the World a team of philosophers get to grips with a variety of these contentious issues - from the amusing to the shocking - in snappy, engaging, and often controversial pieces. Covering topics from guns to abortion, the morality of drinking alone, hating a sports team, and being rude to cold callers, the essays will make you think again about the judgements we make on a daily basis and the ways in which we choose to conduct our lives.
