## Description

Plato and a Platypus Walk into a Bar . . : Cathcart, Thomas, Klein, Daniel: desertcart.in: Books

Review: Philosophy With A Laugh - This is a hilariously funny book. Jokes ? Yes it’s filled with jokes. The writing is brilliant and all in all a fascinating read. This is a book which can be read and reread. Not only for the philosophy, but also to …well enjoy a tremendously good read…once again.
Review: Plato and a platypus walk into a bar ... Understanding philosophy - through jokes - Thomas Cath cart & Daniel Klein - If you told me that it is possible to capture the spirits of persons like Kant, Descartes, Aristotle and Plato in such a small package (around 190 pages), I may not have believed you, but the authors of this rib tickling eye opener pull it off with flair, funnily enough. How would you imagine a book of philosophy explained through jokes? I expected a cartoon book with an illustration on every page with a write up on the other side. But this is a genuine attempt to introduce us to the basics of philosophy, though their approach to the subject is light. So if you have a bowl of fried and salted peanuts ready and would like to know the meaning of life and everything else, just grab this book and get ready .. to laugh out your ignorance, in ripples of enlightenment. A jestful approach to a serious topic, but the final result is not something to joke about.
