Finally, a crash course in philosophy via jokes. Gags really do explain the meaning of it all in this lively book, loaded with one liners, vaudeville humor, cartoons, and even a limerick or two.
Harvard philosophy majors Tom Cathcart and Dan Klein are your emcees on this hilarious yet profound tour de farce through Western philosophy, covering such topics as:
LOGIC Sherlock Holmes never deduced anything
EXISTENTIALISM You haven't lived until you think about death all the time
ETHICS The Sopranos' contribution to the Golden Rule
LANGUAGE It all depends on what your definition of is is.
