The infinite tortoise : the curious thought experiments of history's great thinkers

Levy, Joel, 1971-2016
Book
From Plato's Cave to Descartes' Demon, and from Zeno's paradoxes to Hilbert's Hotel, great thinkers have used thought experiments and paradoxes to try and work out complex ideas in the simplest way possible. This is a clear, concise and fascinating guide to philosophical thought experiments and how they've shaped our understanding of the world.
