Plato and a platypus walk into a bar... : understanding philosophy through jokes / Daniel Klein, Thomas Cathcart. - London : Oneworld, 2016. - 194 pages : illustrations (black and white) ; 20 cm
Originally published: as by Thomas Cathcart and Daniel Klein. New York: Abrams Image, 2006.
Here's an accusation - Sherlock Holmes never deduced anything. When it comes to language, it all depends on what your definition of 'is' is, And one for the existentialists - you haven't lived until you think about death all the time. Crammed with over 100 jokes and graced by the occasional cartoon, written in a Marxist style (Groucho's, not Karl's) and featuring frequent appearances from a comic two-man Greek chorus, 'Plato and a Platypus' is a hilarious romp through the calssic areas of philosophy.
