Plato and a Platypus: Understanding Philosophy Through Jokes
This New York Times bestseller is the hilarious philosophy course everyone wishes they had taken in school. Authors—and born vaudevillians—Thomas Cathcart and Daniel Klein have created a breakout bestseller with Plato and a Platypus Walk Into a Bar..., which has been outrageously funny ever since the duo did their schtick on NPR's Weekend Edition. Lively, original, and powerfully informative, this not-so-reverent crash course through the great philosophical thinkers and traditions is a joy to read, from Existentialism (What do Hegel and Bette Midler have in common?) to Logic (Sherlock Holmes never deduced anything). Philosophy 101 for those who like to take the heavy stuff lightly, Plato and a Platypus Walk Into a Bar... finally makes sense of it all.
And now, readers can explore further musings on life and philosophy from Daniel Klein in Travels with Epicurus and Every Time I Find the Meaning of Life, They Change it.
