Publisher's note

Here's a lively, hilarious, not-so-reverent crash course through the great philosophical traditions, schools, concepts, and thinkers. It's Philosophy 101 for everyone who knows not to take all this heavy stuff too seriously. Some of the Big Ideas are Existentialism (what do Hegel and Bette Midler have in common?), Philosophy of Language (how to express what it's like being stranded on a desert island with Halle Berry), Feminist Philosophy (why, in the end, a man is always a man), and much more. Finally--it all makes sense!

Annotation

Harvard philosophy graduates Thomas Cathcart and Daniel Klein provide an unorthodox introduction to philosophy by using jokes, humor, and colorful anecdotes to demonstrate that even profound thinking and deep thoughts can be terribly funny.
