Thomas Cathcart and Daniel Klein, longtime philosophers and comedians, present Plato and a Platypus Walk into a Bar, an entertaining, enlightening, and engaging guide to the love of wisdom. With their combined knowledge, wit, and whimsy, the authors provide a book that can be thoroughly enjoyed by anyone, from the curious layman to the most well-versed professor of Nicomachean Ethics.

You will find that the reader's comedic timing may not be perfect; the philosophical concepts snipped in brevity and perhaps a bit incomplete.. You may find some of the jokes target theism and other beliefs that if you hold too closely or restrict your views too narrowly then offense may follow. You may also find some of the jokes a bit lame regardless of target.. but that's comedy. In the end, if you are like me, you will find it entertaining, somewhat thought provoking and best served in rations of a chapter or so at a time. All in all though its a worthwhile experience unless you are callused, closed off or easily offended in which case it may be preferable to stick with the tepid waters of preacher humor for your comedy and the pablum of Strobel for your philosophy. For all others, its a fun ride.
