Why do people enjoy watching scary movies? Should we bet on the existence of God? Why is
pleasure better than pain? And when is a duck not a duck? Mini Philosophy is a fascinating
journey into what some of the greatest minds of the last 2 500 years have to say about the big
questions in life and why they are relevant to us today. Covering everything from Sun Tzu's
strategy for winning at board games to Freud's insights into our 'death drive' why De Beauvoir
believed the mothering instinct is a myth to why Schopenhauer probably wasn't much fun at
parties these mini-meditations will expand your mind (and bend it too).
