Lively, original, and powerfully informative, Plato and a Platypus Walk Into a Bar&#8230; is a not-so-reverent crash course through the great philosophical thinkers and traditions, from Existentialism (What do Hegel and Bette Midler have in common?) to Logic (Sherlock Holmes never deduced anything).
