Mini Filosofía

Why do people enjoy watching horror movies? Should we believe in the existence of God? Why is pleasure better than pain? And when is a duck not a duck? Mini Philosophy is a fascinating journey through what some of the greatest minds of the last 2,500 years have to say about life's big questions, and why they're still relevant to us today. From Sun Tzu's strategy for winning at board games to Freud's reflections on our "death instinct"; going through the reasons why de Beauvoir believed the maternal instinct to be a myth or why Schopenhauer probably didn't have much fun at parties, these mini-meditations will stretch your mind (and bend it, too).
