Understanding Philosophy Through Jokes
Ratings13
Average rating3.3
Teaches the principles and concepts of philosophy through one-liner jokes, vaudeville humor, cartoons, and limericks, in an irreverent introduction to the great philosophers and philosophical traditions, from Existentialism to Logic.
Reviews with the most likes.
Easy, breezy and fun, so far. Probably a great addition to a Philosophy 101 class, as you learn a quite a bit in a sort of effortless way...
Stopped reading at page 25. The “jokes” arent funny, the philosophys unconsidered, and the link between the two is tenuous. 2 stars to give it the benefit of the doubt (maybe it gets better?) and it has an interesting cover.
