A great book to dip into, especially for anyone who enjoys a good argument or who is trying to set a topic for a debating society.
Each chapter starts by outlining a particular scenario that is designed to then lead to a debate on a specific legal or moral or ethical point.
A particular favorite of mine is 'The poppadom paradox' where Sakisa savours the arrival of the poppadoms at her table in an indian restaurant. Her issue is that she believes she is a multiculturalist enjoying aspects of many other cultures - but to enjoy an experience fully she needs others (such as the indian waiter) to remain monoculturalists and play their role for her enjoyment as authentically as possible - but where does that leave Sakisa and her dream of a multiculturalist society!
