How do you think humans differ from other mammals? First of all, of course, the ability to wear a tie and a pathological love of football. Well, and secondly, the desire to find meaning in everything, and then laugh at the results. That is, to philosophize and invent jokes. Harvard philosophy professors Tom Cathcart and Dan Klein, in their brilliant book, combined these two inclinations and gave us a fascinating journey through the history of philosophical teachings, illustrating it with the funniest and wisest anecdotes in the world. In the company of Plato, Hegel, Kant, Descartes, Barth and... the authors, the reader will be able to plunge into the philosophical jungle and at the same time have a good laugh. The book will be of interest to everyone who wants to immerse themselves in the essence of things, but not drown!
