Plato and a Platypus Walk Into a Bar...: Understanding Philosophy Through Jokes


#364
Title: Plato and a Platypus Walk Into a Bar...: Understanding Philosophy through Jokes
Authors: Thomas Cathcart and Daniel Klein
Year: 2007
Publisher: Abrams Image
208 pages

Entertaining enough, with some good jokes, some of which were good examples of the philosophical school or concept they purported to illustrate, some, not so much. I'm not sure if knowing more philosophy or less would make this a more enjoyable collection, but I found myself getting hung up on jokes that didn't seem to show what they were intended to.
