The Xmas Files by Stephen Law
In a secular society, does Christmas mean anything anymore? This book is designed to be a fun book but one underpinned by an exploration of serious philosophical issues. The way we celebrate Christmas says a lot about the way we relate to each other, our society and values.
"Not just about ChristmasIt is also a concise primer to some of the main issues in religious and moral philosophy, wrapped up in a seasonal context." THE HERALD "As Law reassesses the meanings behind the season, he does his damnedest to make the whole terrain accessible to the non-philosophy student." THE LIST "For the clever one in the family." BELFAST TELEGRAPH
