The world's shortest philosophy books
Researchers at Mississipi University have uncovered some largely unknown 'shorter classics' of the world's best-known philosophers (in fact, shortest classics) that might challenge the view that they're largely humourless. They include:
- Coping with Change by Parmenides
- Watch Your Waistline by Peter Abelard
- How We Can Make this a Better World by Gottfried Leibniz
- The Wit and Humor of Immanuel Kant
- What I Learned from the Noumena by Immanuel Kant
- Nietzsche's Logic
- What Next for Capitalism? by Karl Marx
- Our Natural Rights by Jeremy Bentham
- Things I Haven't Reconsidered by Bertrand Russell
- Ethical Theory by Jean-Paul Sartre
- Things to Say about Whereof One Cannot Speak by Ludwig Wittgenstein
- What I Really Meant by Jacques Derrida, and
- Our Duties to Others by Ayn Rand
If you need to, ask a passing philosopher to explain the jokes. [Hat tip Stephen Hicks]
