Reading The Philosophy Files a few years back lead me into your other introductory books, which lead me into engaging much more widely with philosophy, changing a lot of my core beliefs and ambitions, and going to study PPE at it's home in Oxford in October. It's hard to say how things would have worked out without reading your book, but it definitely lit a wonderful fuse for me :-DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905686568472747305.post-29120291133744838402009-03-03T08:17:00.000+00:002009-03-03T08:17:00.000+00:00Congratulations, Stephen - very well-deserved.I ca...Congratulations, Stephen - very well-deserved.<BR/><BR/>I can't help but echo Kosh3's scepticism, all the more so because it looks as though all the 100 books are on philosophy, inculding the intriguingly titled "Pippi und Sokrates". <BR/><BR/>Still, I'm sure you're pleased, all the more so because you've beaten Julian with his "Das Schwein, das unbedingt gegessen werden möchte: 100 philosophische Gedankenspiele"...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905686568472747305.post-41548115384259854862009-03-03T04:23:00.000+00:002009-03-03T04:23:00.000+00:00Congrats Stephen, that is excellent news.
