First off: great jokes. I had heard a few of them before, but all of them are great.

Next: The philosophy. You don’t learn a huge amount of philosophy from this book. If you’ve taken an intro course in college recently, you probably know it all already. If you took it 20 years ago, you probably forgot a lot, so this will be a refresher. If you took it 40 years ago, you probably forgot even more, and they probably didn’t get to some of the language, postmodern, and feminist philosophers anyway.

Jokes and philosophy together: They go surprisingly well, actually. So many jokes (and joke types) actually illustrate philosophical principles nicely.
