The Big Questions: Tackling the Problems of Philosophy with Ideas from Mathematics, Economics and Physics

The Big Questions: Tackling the Problems of Philosophy with Ideas from Mathematics, Economics and Physics - Steven E. Landsburg I found the title of this book to be a little misleading. This is more of a libertarian rant by economist Landsburg -- complete with the moral reasoning why restaurants should not be forced by the government to serve all clientele regardless of race -- than it is a philosophy book. I guess it could be considered to be Landsburg's personal philosophy. By the end of his polemic, Landsburg is even disdaining the reading of books, calling it a hobby like tennis. I guess the next time I choose to read a book by an economist I'll pull a book off the shelf by Paul Krugman.
