Publisher's note

The best-selling authors of Plato and a Platypus Walk into a Bar explore death and the afterlife from lighthearted philosophical, theological, and psychological perspectives that consider that death may not be such a pessimism-inducing state.

From the authors of the bestselling "Plato and a Platypus Walk into a Bar," an uproarious new book on the meaning of death (and life, too)
The new book by the bestselling authors of "Plato and a Platypus Walk Into a Bar" is a hilarious take on the philosophy, theology, and psychology of mortality and immortality. That is, Death. The authors pry open the coffin lid on this one, looking at the Big D and also its prequel, Life, and its sequel, the Hereafter. Philosophers such as Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Camus, and Sartre have been wrestling with the meaning of death for as long as they have been wrestling with the meaning of life. Fortunately, humorists have been keeping pace with the major thinkers by creating gags about dying. Deathas funny that wayait gets everybodyas attention.
Death has gotten a bad rap. Itas time to take a closer look at what the Deep Thinkers have to say on the subject, and there are no better guides than Cathcart and Klein.

Annotation

The writings of Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, and Kierkegaard can get pretty grave, particularly when their subject is "the grave," so Thomas Cathcart and Daniel Klein (PLATO AND A PLATYPUS WALK INTO A BAR) decided to put some life back into the philosophy of death with an invigorating dose of humor and pop culture. Cathcart and Klein use jokes, anecdotes, movie quotes, comedic quips and country music lyrics to illuminate the erudite deliberations of Heidegger, Leibnitz, Wittgenstein and many other (dead) philosophers on the subject of death, particularly how it effects the meaning of life.
