Really, Really Big Questions is all about expanding your thoughts about the world, your opinions, and ideas. Reading exercises your mind for a load of conspiracies. Mind teasers, optical illusions, and experiments fulfills the philosophic details of the book. Life's biggest questions remain in these pages. Many of the conspiracies are throughly explained with detail and examples. Some conspiracies are even answered with historical and modern proof. Philosophy is defined throughout the book and through quotes from famous people in history. The big questions help readers rationally think for themselves and discovers a new belief for yourself.
This book really inspired me to learn more about philosophy and looking into big, mind-boggling questions. The questions talked about things that my mind could barely comprehend. I enjoyed the illustrations related to the text and they helped me make a real-world connection. I would recommend this short read to kids intrigued by philosophy, 5th grade and above. I appreciated the historical background for further information. Based off the cover, it looks like a both for kids, but in reality it's very beyond their comprehension. If more people read this book I think the world's population would have a better understanding of our earth. Overall, I enjoyed reading this book even when it gave me headaches. ( )

This book is all about the big questions like... "Is time travel possible?". This question and more like it, is answered in this book. Over all I think it is a good read and would recommend it to others. It is factual and that is s good thing in my case. In this book be prepared to exercise your mind as you find out all the things you need and want to know about life and all the aspects of it. You get to explore a whole new world of fun facts and questions. That's the summary of the book.
In my opinion this book is fun and factual. On the outside it looks like a book for little kids but the reading level is high and most things in it kids would not understand. This is a well thought of book. The cover I think is just as inviting as the book its self. It is fun with lots of brainteasers, and quirky questions. It's in a fun question-and-answer format that make it seem fun to the eye. Overall I like the book. I would also recommend it to others. ( )

This is a book of philosophical and moral questions for kids along the lines of "should we act like lemmings?" "are human beings designed?" and "is it ok to eat animals?". The emphasis is on using observation, hypotheses, and discussion to find out truths. It's not for the overly religious. Z mostly flipped through it and picked out certain sections to read outloud with me - led to some good discussions. ( )

OK it is for kids but most adults would benefit from this too - I did.

The disciplined way of thinking about issues gives you a hint that some philosophers do actually do some useful stuff. ( )
