Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Do you think you want another narrative? I'm not sure I know of one that comprehensively looks at all of the major philosophers.
Amazon suggested a few others that look good: [link]
One thing I keep reading is that Philosophy for Dummies is not great--biased rather than inclusive.
I'd be interested to know what bob bob thinks of Sophie's World.
Ooo, cool, Brenda!
You know, Sean, even when they fluff up their fur they are quite a bit smaller than you.
SHUT UP! He was all intimidating and stuf.. SHUT UP!
Plus, I was mostly naked at the time, because I like to skivvie about in my skivvies, too. t /tmi And he's pointy on five of his six ends.! He could have done something to my precious, delicate skin!
SHUT UP!
My cat is currently too hot for nefarious plots. He's been either flat on the floor or under my bed for the past couple of days.
Ours is just so blissfully happy to see us, what with us having gone on TWO four-day long trips in the last two weeks, all he wants to do is lie either directly in front of the front door, or on top of us, to prevent us from leaving again. It's adorable.
When we just had one cat, we would make him chase the laser pointer until he was exhausted.
We play "fetch the mouse." He has a whole collection of fuzzy mouse toys, and likes to chase after them when they're thrown, bring them back, and wait for us to throw them again. This game is made even more hilarious for all involved by our hardwood floors and slidey rugs.
I got ahold of him. He's on the road and can post in about four hours. Is ahold a word?
Is ahold a word?
Now that you ask.... Huh.

a·hold ( P ) Pronunciation Key (-hld)n. Hold; grip: “I knew I could make it all right if I got... back to the hotel and got ahold of that bottle of brandy” (Jimmy Breslin).
The best idiot book I've ever owned.
It might be a bit of a stretch to call it a philosophy book though.
