''101 Philosophy Problems'' (1999) is a philosophy book for a general audiences by Martin Cohen published by Routledge. ==Format and summary== The format of the book was unique and later copied by other authors. For example in Julian Baggini's ''The Pig That Wants to Be Eaten'' it was observed that the books "format is essentially the same as that first successfully introduced by Martin Cohen's ''101 Philosophy Problems''."〔Law, Stephen. "Saturday Review: Science & philosophy: Food for thought: Stephen Law on moral dilemmas: The Pig That Wants to Be Eaten, and Ninety-Nine Other Thought Experiments by Julian Baggini 256pp, Granta, pounds 14.99". ''The Guardian'' ((UK) ) 03 Sep 2005: 11.〕 In a review for the ''Times Higher Education Supplement'' (London),〔Harry Gensler, ''Times Higher Education Supplement'', February 25, 2000〕 Harry Gensler, Professor of philosophy, at John Carroll University, Cleveland, describes the book: :"The book has 101 humorous little stories, each with a philosophical problem (not however, necessarily, the usual Unsolved problems in philosophy). For example, problem 54 is about Mr Megasoft, who dies leaving his fortune to his favourite computer. Megasoft's children take the matter to court, contending that the computer cannot think and so cannot inherit money. Mr Megasoft's lawyers claim that the computer can think. But on what grounds can we say that computers can or cannot think?" Other stories deal with paradoxes, ethics, aesthetics, perception, time, God, physics, and knowledge and include problems from Zeno, Descartes, Russell, Nelson Goodman, Edmund Gettier and others. The problems are followed by a discussion section and a glossary. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「101 Philosophy Problems」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
