Description

Does Santa Exist? by Eric Kaplan is a thought-provoking exploration of the nature of reality and our perceptions of it. A search for the truth about old St. Nick becomes a deeply insightful discussion of the way some things exist but may not really be there.

The book delves into the philosophical ideas of Bertrand Russell and Ludwig Wittgenstein, who struggled to reconcile the real and unreal, as well as the mystic traditions of Buddhism, Taoism, early Christianity, Theosophy, and more. Kaplan ultimately turns to comedy as a way to resolve fundamental paradoxes, using examples from popular culture.

Through his own personal reflections on life's biggest questions, including the meaning of existence, perfect moments, and the nature of God, Kaplan sheds new light on the human experience and our place in the world.
