From the NYT obit of P. R. Bosanquet-Foot, b. Lincolnshire, d. Oxford.
"[t]he paradoxes suggested by the Trolley Problem and its variants have
engaged not only moral philosophers but neuroscientists, economists and
evolutionary psychologists. It also inspired a subdiscipline jokingly known as
trolleyology, whose swelling body of commentary 'makes the Talmud look like
CliffsNotes.'"
