Thought Experiments and A Little Scrap of a Thing
Joe's daughter is pregnant and about to go to university. Her mum, dad, the baby's father and grandmother all have opinions - but why does philosopher Hermione stay silent?
Joe's daughter Lucy is pregnant and heading for University. Her Mum, her Dad, the baby's father and grandmother all have differing opinions - but why does philosopher Hermione stay silent?
Lucy must decide what to do, while Hermione gives her and Joe warm support, good advice - and a startling revelation.
Once again, ex-miner Joe Snowball and Durham philosophy lecturer Hermione Pink argue, console and confide in one another over the thinking behind one of life's big dilemmas.
