Plato and a Platypus Walk into a Bar . . .

byThomas Cathcart, Daniel Klein

Genres: Psychology

Who is this book for? Readers interested in philosophy presented in a humorous and accessible way.

Philosophie nur etwas für Bücherwürmer, Theoretiker, Lebensfremde, Grübler oder Fantasten? Mitnichten, sagen Cathcart und Klein. Anhand zahlreicher scheinbar banaler Witze demonstrieren sie gleichermaßen unterhaltsam wie intelligent die Welt philosophischer Konzepte. Platon und Schnabeltier lehrt uns Philosophie auf mühelose Art und Weise mittels Aktivierung der Lachmuskeln. Über alle wichtigen philosophischen Fachgebiete wie Logik, Metaphysik, Ethik, Sprach- und Staatsphilosophie werden wir im Schnellverfahren, jedoch höchst eindrucksvoll, unterrichtet. Nach der Lektüre des Buches ist es ein Leichtes, induktive von deduktiver Logik und a priori von a posteriori zu unterscheiden. Wir wissen, warum wir uns in der besten aller möglichen Welten aufhalten, obwohl Gott bekanntlich tot ist und fühlen uns trotz oder gerade wegen der ernsten Thematik bestens unterhalten. Die Autoren schaffen mit Platon und Schnabeltier das Kunststück, Philosophie aus dem Elfenbeinturm der Unverständlichkeit zu befreien und mit dem Attribut quirliger Unterhaltung zu schmücken. der witzigste Weg zur Philosophie bibliophiles Geschenkbuch mit Anspruch.
