    About this ebook

    A collection of think pieces on a variety of topics: the environment (the notion of garbage, who owns the water, climate change as entertainment, ... ), business (the limits of advertising, business in denial, ...), individual rights and social issues (making certain words illegal, slutwalks, cultural anarchy, a concept of noise trespass, ...), ethics (what’s wrong with selling your organs, euthanasia, should parents need to be licensed, ...), education (the failure of ...), and so on.

    Note: The second edition will include all of the pieces in the first edition plus another 80 or so pieces—for just $4.99.

    "... It's all thought-provoking, and whether or not you'll end up agreeing with her conclusions, her essays make for fascinating reading." Erin O'Riordan

    "Tittle’s pieces are atypical of philosophical writing in the best ways: of interest to non-specialists, yet instructive and profound, yet entertaining." Ron Cooper, Professor of Philosophy

      This isn't what I was expecting. Given the author's publishing record, I thought this would be a collection of essays discussing current affairs in the style of Chomsky, Singer or Patrick Grim but it's more a mishmash blog posts. I didn't see a lot of depth or information. Honestly, it didn't grip me. I was also irritated that half the book consists of empty pages. It may be useful to start classroom debate for secondary school students.I received an ARC and am reviewing voluntarily.
