The Trolley Problem, or Would You Throw the Fat Guy Off the Bridge?: A Philosophical Conundrum by Thomas Cathcart
5.0
Oh my God I finally read this one! This is the trolley problem like in the 60s but gets expanded. The difference is mention with the condition of Ms.Jones (with the moral dilemma) who doesn't bear the burden to make the decision. She was merely standing by a switch when she had seen the trolley was coming. I LOVE this book, A LOT, probably because the book is written in the very conventional way which makes it easy to comprehend. It then goes from chapter to chapter with the basis of the particular circumstances, along with comprising philosophical values to decide whether Ms.Jones should be found guilty nor not. Some terms are a little bit unclear since I am not supra familiar with the classical thoughts (I notice this in the naturalistic fallacy which I ended up discussing the term with friend). However, the book is an exciting way to dive into ethical dilemma and moral judgement. It is a fun and practical (in a playful way) to discuss enlightenment philosophy.
