Product Reviewing Points: |
Summary of this Book... | Let's face it: in and of itself, philosophy is a boring topic. The method the authors use to explain it is ingenious. The lofty topics that ancient philosophers sat on tree stumps discussing are brought down to layman's terms by reducing their meaning to jokes and one liners. | This type of Book is good for... | A good bit of light reading. Such profound ideas as are presented and exlained here are rarely entertaining. In this case, it's like a gourmet dish: all preparation. | I especially liked... | I loved this book from beginning to end. Reading my dad's copy inspired me to order one of my own so that I could finish it more quickly. | When I finished reading this Book I wanted to... | Read its sequel: Aristotle and an Aardvark go to Washington. (Yes, it's out there...I bought it too) | This Book made me feel... | Enlightened and entertained. | The author of this Book... | Thomas Cathcart & Daniel Klein | I recommend this Book because... | It's a great way for those who have a difficult time understanding philosophy to grasp it. It's also a good laugh. | Further Comments... | This book is only 200 pages, that includes acknowlegements and a brief glossary of philosopical terms used within. |
