Is My Coffee Conscious?

Can you trust your own thoughts? Is it OK to break a promise? And do you really have free will - or are you just a pre-programmed brain in a jar?In this witty and mind-bending book, expert philosopher Gareth Southwell exposes the world of philosophy within the fabric of your everyday life. From moral dilemmas in the office kitchen (is it ever okay to steal someone's milk?), to questions lurking in your daily commute (are you the same person who left the house this morning?) Is My Coffee Conscious? explores life's biggest questions in the most unexpected of places.Packed with brain-itching thought experiments, real-world applications and a host of 'wait...what?' moments, this book proves that philosophy isn't just for ancient scholars - it's for anyone who's ever overthought a text message, debated the ethics of regifting or wondering if your phone knows you better than yourself.
