Description

Philosophy has never been so funny. Daniel Klein and Thomas Cathcart take the subject to task with flair and gusto in this wise and hilarious book. Lively, original, and powerfully informative, it's an irreverent crash course through the great thinkers and traditions. Klein and Cathcart have a knack of getting to the core of an issue in a crystal clear line, making complex ideas accessible to everyone. With good jokes, clever jokes, and even some that might make you laugh so hard others will think you're joking, this book is the philosophy class you wish you'd had. It's not just for those with a background in philosophy - it's for anyone curious about how we think and what makes us human. This book explains it all in a way that's easy to understand, making sense of the subject once and for all.
