Plato and a Platypus Walk into a Bar 柏拉图与鸭嘴兽一起上酒吧 9780143113874

　不务正业的哈佛哲学系毕业生Thomas Cathcart & Daniel Klein，充分发挥他们的喜剧天分和搞笑功力，开起哲学的玩笑，通过笑话解读西方哲学，探讨西方哲学史上10个无可避免的题目：行上学、逻辑、知识论、伦理学、宗教哲学、存在主义、语言哲学、社会与政治哲学、相对性、后设哲学。 

Outrageously funny, Plato and a Platypus Walk into a Bar . . . has been a breakout bestseller ever since authors—and born vaudevillians—Thomas Cathcart and Daniel Klein did their schtick on NPR’s Weekend Edition. Lively, original, and powerfully informative, Plato and a Platypus Walk Into a Bar . . . is a not-so-reverent crash course through the great philosophical thinkers and traditions, from Existentialism (What do Hegel and Bette Midler have in common?) to Logic (Sherlock Holmes never deduced anything). Philosophy 101 for those who like to take the heavy stuff lightly, this is a joy to read—and finally, it all makes sense!
