Inhoud:

The Trolley Problem is an ethical thought experiment dreamed up in 1967 by British philosopher Philippa Foot, and further developed by American thinker Judith Jarvis Thomson in the '70s. Since then, philosophers have devised a variety of iterations of the problem. This book explores these through the lens of a trial in the court of public opinion.
