Gary Cox guides us through 42 of the most misunderstood, misquoted,
provocative and significant quotes in the history of philosophy
providing a witty and compelling commentary along the way. This
entertaining and illuminating collection of quotes doesn't merely
list who said what and when, it explores who each philosopher is
and what he or she really meant when they said what they said.
Viewing each quote as a philosophical thesis in itself, Cox probes
the writings of everyone from Douglas Adams to A.J. Ayer and Thomas
Aquinas to Karl Marx. This is a philosophical journey through
history, culture and writing to bring us to a deeper understanding
of why we think the way we do. As Douglas Adams points out, if
there is no final answer to the question, 'What is the meaning of
life?', '42' is as good or bad an answer as any other. Here Cox
shows that 42 quotes might be even better!
