“I know any book is good when I spend time at my folks house reading my father's copy. I know it's great when doing that inspires me to buy my own copy. Philosophy may be dull, but this book keeps you coming back for more. Plato and a Platypus teaches the basics of philosophy while you laugh. You don't even know you're learning!”
“Humor defuses the intimidation and pomposity factors. A brain-friendly book.”
“A wonderful romp with the zany footballers from Monty Python!”
“This is an entertaining introduction to the historical movements and characters of philosophy. If it were in the form of a wiki, practicing philosphers might add their own preferred jokes or additional concepts & luminaries. Interesting referral to applied ethics in bioethics, feminism, treatment of animals, & professions along with identification of the notion of ethical dilemmas whose solution characterize the given individuals or societies. Brief, but good discussion of existentialism from Hegelian dialectic, Kierkegaard response, Sartre "experience precedes existence", "Curiously Camus looked a lot like Humphrey Bogart" (p 118), & Heidegger's existence as "being-toward-death". www.platoandaplatypus.com is official site.Reader map of contents: cadsmithinc.googlepages.com/papwib.pdf”
