The subtitle correctly characterizes this book as "A Sourcebook of Philosophical Puzzles, Problems, and Paradoxes." It includes a wide range of stories that illustrate philosophical issues, such as the Liar's Paradox, the Monty Hall problem, and runaway trollies. It would be a great resource in discussion forums, but alas was less interesting to read cover to cover. Frankly, I just didn't stop long enough between stories to really think about the issues.
