The Trolley Problem: A Philosophical Conundrum

The trolley problem is a 1967 thought experiment by British philosopher Philippa Foot, who asked us to contemplate the ethics and morality of, for instance, killing one person to save the lives of five people in various gruesome scenarios mostly involving road crashes. This book explores deep feelings of right and wrong with dry humor and literary distance, framing the scenario as a crime. Learn about Utilitarianism, Kant, St Thomas Aquinas, and more along the way in this quirky, clearly-explained philosophy lesson.
