For several years Ian Olasov has set up ‘Ask-a-Philosopher’ booths around New York City, answering questions from passers-by. Now in this book, he offers answers to the real-life questions on people’s minds. Every question is approached from a philosophical standpoint, but the answer is made fun and accessible for everyone. One of the many joys of this book is that you see how philosophy can be both perfectly continuous with everyday life and also utterly transporting.
