Praise for There Are Two Errors
What academics are saying about There Are Two Errors in the the Title of This Book:
“In this delightful little book Bob Martin has made philosophy both exciting and fun. I’ve recommended earlier editions to all my first-year students, and I’ve gifted it to people aged 12 to 80. Everyone loves it. Philosophy is a collection of puzzles, and Martin covers pretty much all of them, in digestible snippets. If one doesn’t grab you, there’ll be ten more that do.” – Paul Viminitz, University of Lethbridge
“I’ve used this book in teaching Critical Thinking, but really it’s for me. It’s useful and fun, and it reminds me why I love philosophy.” – Ben Caplan, Ohio State University
“A wonderful book. Martin presents a wealth of puzzles, paradoxes and jokes, more than ever before, in this new and updated third edition. Frequently these raise significant philosophical issues, which are thus introduced in a natural and interesting way. This is a superb text for stimulating students’ interest and showing them how much sheer fun can be had from doing philosophy.” – Adam Rieger, University of Glasgow
“A delightful catalogue of over 250 philosophical puzzles – ranging from entertaining pastimes to deep philosophical problems.” – Peter Vallentyne, Virginia Commonwealth University
“Proving the pleasures of philosophy has never been so easy, thanks to Martin’s compendium of philosophical conundrums; it will serve as an irresistible enticement to philosophical reflection.” – Geoffrey Sayre-McCord, University of North Carolina
“An excellent sourcebook, which demonstrates in interesting ways the connections between these puzzles and the great issues that philosophers have debated.” – Peter van Inwagen, Syracuse University
“If I could do it all over again, I wish that the first book on philosophy I had read was this one. It would have saved me a lot of false starts, and made philosophy even more intriguing than it turned out to be.” – Roland Puccetti, Dalhousie University
“A delightful collection of brain-teasers and puzzles! There is a lot of nourishment here for the imagination, and for the philosophical intelligence.” – John M. Dolan, University of Minnesota
