And what would David Hume have to say about the virgin birth?  \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eFor underneath all the festive fun, the way we celebrate Christmas does raise serious questions about the beliefs that sustain us, and the ways in which we still value ritual and tradition as a means of coming together.","brand":"Oxfordbookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44785903894707,"sku":"9780753817957","price":416.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/4164\/4723\/files\/blk_imp_17478080299780753817957.jpg?v=1762800419"},{"product_id":"the-outer-limits-more-mysteries-from-the-philosophy-files","title":"The Outer Limits: More Mysteries from the Philosophy Files","description":"\u003cp\u003eStephen Law follows THE PHILOSOPHY FILES with a second book of philosophical conundrums for teenagers.

Is time travel possible? Are genetically designed babies morally acceptable? If you have ever asked yourself such questions, then you have already begun to think philosophically. This book is for those who want to take the next step. Stephen Law poses questions about some of the most important philosophical issues of today - and of yesterday. Light-hearted questions about whether a pickled sheep is really art rub shoulders with more profound and time-honoured fears about whether God exists. In this radically new way of looking at philosophy, Stephen Law illustrates the problem with a story then lets both sides of the argument battle it out in clear, easily digestible and intelligent prose. And, by separating each issue into a distinct section, it is possible to dip in and out of in any order and at any time you like!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxfordbookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44790876897459,"sku":"9780747232711","price":559.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/4164\/4723\/files\/blk_imp_17478084469780747232711.jpg?v=1762847695"},{"product_id":"the-great-philosophers","title":"The Great Philosophers","description":"\u003cp\u003eSince the beginning of time mankind has struggled with the big questions surrounding our existence.
