Plato and a Platypus Walk Into a Bar: Understanding… di Thomas Cathcart

It achieved its goal of explaining philosophy to the layman. But I wouldn't go out of my way to reccomend it to friends.

Plato and a Platypus Walk Into a Bar: Understanding… di Thomas Cathcart

I've been a casual reader of philosophy since my dad gave me a copy of "Thales to Dewey" when I was a senior in high school. I mention this only because I'm not sure if the jokes were funnier to me because I was familiar with most of the philosophical points they were illustrating. Either way, one isn't going to walk away from this book knowing a great deal about philosophy. But it might take the scary/snobby edge off of the subject and allow one to more comfortably take up reading a good philosophy book.… (altro)

Heidegger and a Hippo Walk Through Those Pearly… di Thomas Cathcart

Mostly dad jokes, but as always the most hilarious aspects of philosophy are usually anecdotes about the philosophers themselves. For example, William James was irritated that a psychic he frequented for her sexually charged seances was debunked by a student.
