Would You Kill the Fat Man?: The Trolley Problem and What Your Answer Tells Us about Right and Wrong by David Edmonds
3.0
3.5
Accessible read for a novice in philosophy. After listening to Philosophize This I wanted to get more into philosophy and the man from the podcast advised by starting to read philosophy books written by scholars that are easy to understand. The book explains the classic example of the trolley case (I remember when Jenny told me about this) and arguments were well laid out to uncover the intentions behind ones decisions, various philosophers take on it and even how in the future hormones will be able to shape our morality. Enjoyed it, and definitely will be looking into more philosophy books to open up my mind to new things.
