Review of 'Heidegger and a Hippo Walk Through Those Pearly Gates: Using Philosophy (and Jokes!) to Explore Life, Death, the Afterlife, and Everything in Between' on 'Goodreads'
1 star
I've been giving out too many stars for books that bothered me and it's time I stopped doing that. After all, I'm not going to live forever and it's time I started expressing myself honestly. So here it is.
Most of the jokes I'd heard before. Maybe 2 or 3 were new and maybe one of those I laughed at. As for the philosophy. I'd hoped it would help me make sense of Heidegger who seems to have a lot of people convinced he's a major thinker. And I still don't know what's so great about him. Is it that he made people confront their death? Street criminals do that every day. And the Nazis did that, I guess, which may be why he became one.
