Download Does Santa Exist?: A Philosophical Investigation AudioBook Free
Metaphysics isn't normally much of a laughing matter. However in the hands of acclaimed humor copy writer and scholar Eric Kaplan, a search for the reality about old St. Nick becomes a deeply insightful, laugh-out-loud discussion of just how some things exist but might not really be there - exactly like Santa and his reindeer. Even directly after we outgrow the jolly fellow, the essential paradox persists: There are a few things we dearly have confidence in that are not universally known as real. In Does Santa Exist?, Kaplan shows how philosophy giants Bertrand Russell and Ludwig Wittgenstein strove to gentle over this uncomfortable meeting of the real and unreal - and failed. After that he becomes to mysticism's tries to solve such paradoxes. Finally, he alights on humor as the best resolution of the essential paradoxes of life. Kaplan delves deeper into what this means, from how our physical brains work to his own private confrontations with life's biggest questions: If we're all going to expire, what's the point of anything? What is a perfect moment in time? What can you say about God? Or Santa?
