Named Top 10 "Best Lit Mags of 2023" by Chill Subs Carefully curated stories from After Dinner Conversation magazine to create a themed short story book about the philosophy and ethics exploring the nature of reality and perceptions.

Story Summary ListHome For The Holidays: A son comes home for the holidays to find his parents have shrunk to two feet tall.

I Do So, Like Durian: A sheltered teen on a quest through Chinatown finds a new world to explore. After Dinner Conversation believes humanity is improved by ethics and morals grounded in philosophical truth. Philosophical truth is discovered through intentional reflection and respectful debate. In order to facilitate that process, we have created a growing series of short stories across genres, a monthly magazine, themed books, and two podcasts. These accessible examples of abstract ethical and philosophical ideas are intended to draw out deeper discussions with friends, family, and students. Reviews 5/5 Stars! "With Science fiction we can explore other galaxies and alien conflicts, but with philosophical fiction we can explore other minds and ethical conflicts. Let this book take you on a Phi-Fi adventure." - William Irwin, Ph.D. - Philosophy Professor, King's College "After Dinner Conversation has taken up the initiative to write themed collections of short stories that fit focused ethics courses - say, a course on bioethics, AI ethics, Tech ethics etc. These collections can offer a spine for such courses or individual stories could be added to a course as illustrative material to stimulate discussion. The stories are lively and engaging and followed by a set of questions to start classroom discussion. Also, outside of educational contexts, the stories will work nicely to stimulate conversation in families, elder hostels, youth clubs, or book groups. Give it a try - I trust that you will enjoy working with the material in this book!" - Luc Bovens, Ph.D. - Philosophy Professor, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill ¿¿¿ If you enjoy this story, subscribe via our website to "After Dinner Conversation Magazine" and get this, and other, similar ethical and philosophical short stories delivered straight to your inbox every month.
