Outrageously funny, Plato and a Platypus Walk into a Bar . is a breakout bestseller ever since authors-and born vaudevillians-Thomas Cathcart and Daniel Klein did their schtick on NPR’s Weekend Edition. Lively, primary, and powerfully useful, Plato and a Platypus HEAD INTO a Bar….. can be a not-so-reverent crash program through the fantastic philosophical thinkers and traditions, from Existentialism (What do Hegel and Bette Midler have as a common factor?) to Reasoning (Sherlock Holmes never deduced anything). Viewpoint 101 for those who like to take the large stuff lightly, that is a pleasure to read-and finally, it all makes sense!
