Page vii Preface These dialogues and stories express my affection for the apparently imponderable questions of philosophy and my conviction that it can be both enlightening and entertaining to think about them. Conversations with my husband Anton Colijn and our daughter Caroline were a major source of inspiration for a number of the selections here. I've also benefitted from the comments and encouragement of Helen Hooker, Bette Strang, Renate Weber, Mark Weinstein, and reviewers for Broadview Press. Illustrations are done by Calgary freelance artist Ian Doig. TRUDY GOVIER

Page 1 Can Computers Cheat? Jan: How do you like the new computer game? Robin: It's pretty good, but I'm not winning as much as I should. Well, I shouldn't complain at least it doesn't cheat. Shelley's computer starts to cheat her when she's won a few games in a row. Does she ever get mad! Jan: What do you mean, it cheats? Robin: It doesn't play fair. Shelley does everything right and then, just when she's about to win the game, her player falls down dead on the screen, for absolutely no reason. She loses even after making all the right moves, and does she get frustrated! The darn computer cheats! Jan: Come on, get serious. Computers can't cheat. They aren't people they're only machines. Robin: Well, Shelley has played a lot of games with that computer of hers, and she sure thinks it can cheat.
