Search Tips
In order to get more accurate results, our search has the following Google-Type search functionality:
+
If you use '+' in front of a word, then that word will be present in the search results.
ex: Harry +Potter will return results with the word 'Potter'.
-
If you use '-' in front of a word, then that word will be absent in the search results.
ex: Harry -Potter will return results without the word 'Potter'.
AND
If you use 'AND' between two words, then both of those words will be present in the search results.
ex: Harry AND Potter will return results with both 'Harry' and 'Potter'.
OR
If you use 'OR' between two words, then bth of those words may or may not be present in the search results.
ex: Harry OR Potter will return results with just 'Harry', results with just 'Potter' and results with both 'Harry' and 'Potter'.
NOT
If you use 'NOT' before a word, then that word will be absent in the search results.
ex: Harry NOT Potter will return results without the word 'Potter'.
""
Placing '""' around words will perform a phrase search. The search results will contain those words in that order.
ex: "Harry Potter" will return any results with 'Harry Potter' in them, but not 'Potter Harry'.
*
Using '*' in a word will perform a wildcard search. The '*' signifies any number of characters. Searches can not start with a wildcard.
ex: Pot*er will return results with words starting with 'Pot' and ending in 'er'. In this case, 'Potter' will be a match.

This is a fascinating introduction to philosophy that will stretch your brain, challenge your problem-solving skills...and leave you totally weirded out. In this book we'll attempt to answer questions such as... Are you in a video game right now? If your body is constantly changing, are you still you? Would you rather be a happy pig or an unhappy human? If these questions sound weird to you, well, it's only going to get weirder from here. By the end of the book you may be wondering whether you actually exist at all. Which would officially make you a philosopher! From Plato's cave to Descartes' I think therefore I am, this book will introduce you to some of the weirdest ever philosophical thoughts - and encourage you to think up some answers of your own.
