What makes something truly yours? Can breaking a rule ever be the right thing to do? If everything about you changes over time, are you still the same person?

Tonight's Dinner Dilemma brings 115 of philosophy's greatest questions to your family's dinner table, made irresistibly accessible for children aged 7 to 14 and the adults who love them.

Each dilemma presents a vivid, relatable scenario — the kind that makes children lean forward and say "ooh, that's a tricky one." Then it gives you the tools to go deeper: discussion questions and a short note connecting the dilemma to real philosophers, from Aristotle and Plato to Peter Singer and John Rawls.

You don't need to discuss all 115 dilemmas at once. Pick one at dinner tonight. See where it goes. No answer is wrong, but every thought is worth exploring.

Because the families who ask big questions together raise children who think for themselves.

Tonight's Dinner Dilemma makes a beautiful, meaningful gift for curious families, thoughtful parents, and children who never stop asking "But why?"
