I was very pleased with this particular purchase. The book arrived in great condition, and was exactly as described in terms of content. The main reason I bought it is because it was written by Raymond Smullyan. Only he could write such a great book. It is my second most prized book, the first being Smullyan's other book, "To Mock A Mockingbird," which I also purchased from Amazon.
Summary: An Intelligent Community Initiative Top 500 Book
Rating: 5
One of the chief goals of The Intelligent Community Initiative is improving the intellectual ability of average citizens, and if you wanted to find a book not only superbly readable but capable of exercising the reader's critical thinking faculties in a way not typically done by the average book, you don't have to look any farther than this masterpiece by Raymond Smullyan.
Extremely readable and thought-provoking, the essays in this book raise many important issues. We found the chapter "Closed Systems of Thought" highly useful in explaining the world-view of Richard Dawkins in our analysis of Dawkins' book, THE IPOD TUTOR: THE ARGUMENT AGAINST RICHARD DAWKINS' THE GOD DELUSION. This is an Intelligent Community Initiative Top 500 Book.
