Summary: Don't Waste Your Money!
Review: This book was an insult to my intelligence to be brutally honest. This guy must have read, "The Physics Behind Star Trek", and realized he could make a buck by hitting on the Metaphysics. I've been studying Philosophy (Thats what Metaphysics is) for the last three years, and theres not ANYTHING that I actually considered useful. If it wasn't for the fact that I must finish any book I start, I wouldn't have finished this one. You, the reader, whether educated in this subject or not, could probobly put together a better piece of work. I recommend you invest your money in birth control, at least you'll get some use and pleasure out of that.

Summary: excellent thought exprmnts on a wide variety of phil. issues
Review: Thought-experiments that spring from the plots of several Star Trek episodes and films (all series) afford Hanley a variety of opportunities to lucidly and humourously explore contemporary issues in epistemology, metaphysics, ethics and physics (mainly time-travel stuff). Just a fantastic book.
