Heidegger and a Hippo Walk through Those Pearly Gates
Using Philosophy (and Jokes!) to Explore Life, Death, the Afterlife, and Everything in Between

This book is a hilarious take on the philosophy, theology, and psychology of mortality and immortalitythat is, Death. The authors pry open the coffin lid on this one, looking at the Big D and also its prequel, Life, and its sequel, the Hereafter. Philosophers such as Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Camus, and Sartre have been wrestling with the meaning of death for as long as they have been wrestling with the meaning of life. Fortunately, humorists have been keeping pace with the major thinkers by creating gags about dying. Deaths funny that way: it gets everybodys attention.
