22.22£
What, in your opinion, distinguishes humans from other mammals? First and foremost, of course, is the ability to wear a tie and a pathological love of football. Secondly, the desire to find meaning in everything, and then to laugh at the results. That is, to philosophize and invent jokes. Harvard philosophy professors Tom Cathcart and Dan Klein combined these two inclinations in their brilliant book and gave us a fascinating journey through the history of philosophical teachings, illustrated with the funniest and wisest jokes 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 laugh heartily. The book will be of interest to anyone who wants to delve into the essence of things, but not drown!
