From the authors of the bestselling Plato and a Platypus Walk into a Bar , an uproarious new book on the meaning of death (and life, too)
The new book by the bestselling authors of Plato and a Platypus Walk Into a Bar is a hilarious take on the philosophy, theology, and psychology of mortality and immortality. That is, Death. The authors pry open the coffin lid on this one, looking at the Big D and also its prequel, Life, and its sequel, the Hereafter. Philosophers such as Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Camus, and Sartre have been wrestling with the meaning of death for as long as they have been wrestling with the meaning of life. Fortunately, humorists have been keeping pace with the major thinkers by creating gags about dying. Death's funny that way-it gets everybody's attention.
Death has gotten a bad rap. It's time to take a closer look at what the Deep Thinkers have to say on the subject, and there are no better guides than Cathcart and Klein.

两个老爷爷聊死亡,讲了许多哲学家不同的死亡观,穿插许多笑话(emmm······大部分都不好笑) 只讲讲我感兴趣的部分好了 前半本很有意思,讲到我们对死亡的害怕,背后本质其实是对时间维度的体验。因为我们对时间的体验是线性的,时间有限的肉身不能处理生活和想象中出现...
扯皮~
评分读了个开头。笑“死”人。读完了,就只是会心地笑笑。讲得比较浅。印象较深的笑话:一个律师半夜醒来,看见撒旦在他房间里。撒旦许诺他金钱美女大好前程。律师一皱眉:“交换条件是什么?”撒旦说:“你的永生的灵魂。”律师说:“别逗了,快说,交换条件是什么?”
