Plato And A Platypus Walk Into A Bar

Product Description

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 & Thomas Cathcart take philosophy to task with flair & gusto in this wise & hilarious treasure of a book. Lively, original, & powerfully informative, Plato & a Platypus Walk Into a Bar... is an irreverent crash course through the great thinkers & traditions. It’s philosophy for everyone, from the curious layperson to the professor who’s seen it all.

Klein & 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 & finally, it all makes sense!
