Asses, Arrows, and Undead Cats is a handbook for everyone who enjoys the thought of an unsolvable problem. Why does freedom lead to tyranny? What would happen if you went back in time and killed your own grandfather? What happens when an irresistible force meets an immovable object? Throughout history, philosophers have run up against problems and paradoxes that seem to come straight out of their own worldviews. Asses, Arrows, and Undead Cats reveals the assumptions behind these problems, outlines the historical attempts to solve them, and emphasizes awareness of the origin of problems that are often discussed but rarely as thoroughly. Along the way, Asses, Arrows and Undead Cats explains the philosophical concepts at work in the production of these problems and introduces the reader to the major figures in the history of philosophy, whose thoughts have led to such strange consequences. Asses, Arrows, and Undead Cats doesn't solve the greatest questions of the universe, but it does work to illuminate the logic behind the problems and paradoxes plaguing philosophy since Socrates.
