Each volume in this series uses a three-part approach to explain complex ideas. First the ‘helicopter overview’ introduces the concept, then the ‘shortcut’ gives more detail on core elements and the pithy ‘hack’ offers a memorable summary. These straightforward explanations present philosophical theories and arguments ranging from ancient religious ideas, through the work of such seminal figures as Avicenna and Descartes, to modern thought experiments including the Trolley Problem and Wittgenstein’s beetle.
