In his fun yet deep book, Spanish scholar and writer Pedro González Calero tells the story of the history of philosophy—what philosophers laughed at, and how they were laughed at in return. He invites the reader on an exciting journey through time and space, as guests of Diogenes, Confucius, Voltaire, Diderot, Russell, Heidegger, and other thinkers of the past. And we’ll learn why Socrates’s wife was always in a bad mood, what Macchiavelli dreamed about, what Kant thought about marriage, whom Nietzsche mocked relentlessly, and why Wittgenstein suddenly needed a poker.
