Two Harvard philosophers explain philosophy through jokes.
All jokes have a philosophical foundation. Every joke serves as an example of some philosophy. The chapter titles in this book are: Metaphysics, Logic, Epistomology, Ethics, Religion, Existentiallism, Language, Social and Political, and Meta-Philosophy. Many jokes are included as examples.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
