Book Reviews of Plato and a Platypus Walk into a Bar . . .: Understanding Philosophy Through Jokes

Book Review: A Very Funny Book
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a very funny book. Cathcart and Klein manage to teach a little philosophy along with the humor. They seem to understand their subject and they make it fun for the reader.

I enjoyed this book even more than their other, similar, book:

Aristotle and an Aardvark Go to Washington

I enjoyed this book and wholeheartedly recommend it to others.
