Timothy Chappell - Professor of Philosophy, The Open University
"Peter Cave's lively new book is full of arresting ideas, brow-creasing
conundrums, persistent puzzles, and pleasing paradoxes. It is ideal reading
for open and inquiring minds from 12 to 112-- in fact for everybody who is
just dipping a toe into philosophy for the first time.

Michael Clark - Editor of Analysis and Emeritus Professor of Philosophy, University of Nottingham
Peter Cave's Can a Robot Be Human? is entertaining, witty, and highly readable. A most enjoyable and illuminating read.

Lawrence Goldstein - Professor of Philosophy, University of Kent
With skill and good humour, Peter Cave guides the reader through a maze of intriguing philosophical puzzles.

Customer Reviews

Food for thought
Peter Cave offers the chance to expose just how logically and fairly you are able to reason with 33 interesting scenarios.
The variety of subjects is broad enough to give everyone several situations in which they may find themselves having to test their phillosophical ability.

Brilliant
If you're inquisitive at all about your environment or why you're here or does a god exist then this book is a must. Written in a much simpler language than many of its counterparts it is a joy to read and should not be intimidating for even a new thinker.

Thinking with FUN!
This is a brilliant read! wonderfully written by the author with great style and humour. This should interest everyone - as it covers a wide range of topics, from ethics to religion to science to metaphysics, but in an entertaining way (even with the odd cartoon).
