Taking this tenet to task, Cathart and Klein tackle all the major philosophical perspectives--ancient and postmodern alike--and make them universally accessible through hilarious jokes that cut straight to the core of the principle. Hobbes, for instance, believed that life is "solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short." Why then, the authors ask, did he complain about it being short? 530 $a Issued also on compact disc. 650 0 $a Philosophy 650 0 $a Philosophy $x Humor. 650 4 $a Books on tape, Unabridged. 700 1 $a Klein, Daniel M. 700 1 $a Heller, Johnny. $4 nrt 939 $a 5845546 941 $a 1 952 $l ALPE516 $d 20180523013720.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=24AE18FE2B1011DEAA7E7608A8D7520A 994 $a 02 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
