The Philosophy of Christmas is designed to be a fun book but one underpinned by an exploration of serious philosophical issues. The way we celebrate Christmas says a lot about the way we relate to each other, our society and values. For instance, did you know that Santa’s outfit is only red and white because those are the colours of the Coca Cola company? Already a bestselling author, Stephen Law takes a look at such things as the virgin birth (David Hume’s theories on miracles), Bertrand Russell’s turkey, the existential angst of Santa, and peace on earth to produce a humourous, varied and thought-provoking collection.
