Strangroom, cofounder of The Philosopher's Magazine, presents several classical and innovative ethical conundrums that take the form of scenarios like "would you eat your cat?", "are you a closet imperialist?", "should we have sex when drunk?", and "whose body is it anyway?" Giving two pages to each, Strangroom reflects on what seems important in making decisions about the situations he constructs. In the second half of the book, he presents further analysis of issues raised in the scenarios, but pursued more broadly and with regard to situating them in academic philosophy. It is an entertaining, but not scholarly or rigorous book, and would serve better as casual reading material than in a classroom setting. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
