"Take 25 of the liveliest philosophers of our time. Talk to each about one of the most intriguing topics you can think of---from ethics to aesthetics to metaphysics. The result is a philosophy Bite---a lively, informal conversation that brings the subject into focus." "First made public on the enormously popular Philosophy Bites podcast, the conversations are now published in book form for the first time." "Infinity, evil, time, friendship, animals, wine, sport, tragedy---all human life is here." "What does Simon Blackburn have to say about morality? What does Anthony Grayling think about atheism? Alain de Botton about the aesthetics of architecture? Adrian Moore about infinity? Will Kymlicka about minority rights? For their hugely successful Philosophy Bites podcast, David Edmonds and Nigel Warburton Challenge some of the world's leading philosophers to hold forth on their favourite topics. Now 25 of these entertaining, personal, and illuminating conversations are presented in print for the first time. The result is a book that is a taster for the whole enterprise of philosophy, and gives unexpected insights into hot topics spanning ethics, politics, metaphysics, aesthetics, and the meaning of life."--BOOK JACKET.
