'What the papers say' - about Martin Cohen's books 101 Philosophy Problems: 'Cohen continually delights or infuriates us with his irreverent opinions.' -Times Higher Education (London) 'Without technical terms and incomprehensible superstructure, but with wit and irony, Cohen explains the basic concepts of philosophy and, in passing, the most famous thinkers of history.' -Der Spiegel 101 Ethical Dilemmas '...a chatty, jokey journey through philosophical dilemmas, ancient and modern... but the philosophy is the real thing.' -New Scientist
