About the Book
Inspiring beginners to apply critical thinking, the book is a perfect guide to open our minds to philosophical concepts.
Does a pen have to be called a pen?
Is it always appropriate to make decisions by a majority vote?
What's the difference between teachers' and children's definition of “behave yourself”?
Does it mean one thing is good when everyone buy it?
Why can't boys sit down to pee?
By using real-life-related examples, the book leads beginners to practice raising questions, pondering over questions and searching for answers with critical and logical thinking skills. Readers are encouraged to have a new way to look into their lives and become philosophers to explore big ideas around.
Start to raise and ponder over your own questions, and search for answers.
