Here's an accusation - Sherlock Holmes never deduced anything. When
it comes to language, it all depends on what your definition of
'is' is. And one for the existentialists - you haven't lived until
you think about death all the time. Daniel Klein and Thomas
Cathcart take philosophy to task with flair and gusto in this wise
and hilarious treasure of a book. Lively, original, and powerfully
informative, Plato and a Platypus Walk Into a Bar... is an
irreverent crash course through the great thinkers and traditions.
It's philosophy for everyone, from the curious layperson to the
professor who's seen it all. Klein and Cathcart have the knack of
getting to the core of an issue in a crystal clear line, meaning
there's more room for jokes - good jokes, clever jokes, jokes
that'll have you laughing so hard the people nearby will shoot you
strange looks. It's the philosophy class you wish you'd had and
finally, it all makes sense!
