Plato And A Platypus Walk Into A Bar . . .

This New York Times bestseller is the hilarious philosophy course everyone wishes they'd had in school. Outrageously funny; Plato and a Platypus Walk into a Bar... has been a breakout bestseller ever since authors-and born vaudevillians-Thomas Cathcart and Daniel Klein did their schtick on NPR's Weekend Edition. Lively; original; and powerfully informative; Plato and a Platypus Walk Into a Bar... is a not-so-reverent crash course through the great philosophical thinkers and traditions; from Existentialism (What do Hegel and Bette Midler have in common?) to Logic (Sherlock Holmes never deduced anything). Philosophy 101 for those who like to take the heavy stuff lightly; this is a joy to read-and finally; it all makes sense! And now; you can read Daniel Klein's further musings on life and philosophy in Travels with Epicurus and Every Time I Find the Meaning of Life; They Change it.
