β¦ Synopsis
Martin provides fascinating discussions of each problem or puzzle, and appends suggestions for further reading in each case. Where the puzzle or problem admits of a right answer, Martin provides it in a separate section. But he also often ends with a question; for many of these puzzles and paradoxes, there is no answer that is universally accepted as being correct. As this book richly and entertainingly demonstrates, philosophy is as much the search for the right questions as it is for right answers.
