Synopsis The writings of Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, and Kierkegaard can get pretty grave, particularly when their subject is "the grave," so Thomas Cathcart and Daniel Klein (PLATO AND A PLATYPUS WALK INTO A BAR) decided to put some life back into the philosophy of death with an invigorating dose of humor and pop culture. Cathcart and Klein use jokes, anecdotes, movie quotes, comedic quips and country music lyrics to illuminate the erudite deliberations of Heidegger, Leibnitz, Wittgenstein and many other (dead) philosophers on the subject of death, particularly how it effects the meaning of life.

Publisher's Note The best-selling authors of Plato and a Platypus Walk into a Bar explore death and the afterlife from lighthearted philosophical, theological, and psychological perspectives that consider that death may not be such a pessimism-inducing state.
