The only constant
Before politicians utter one more word about change, they should hear what philosophers had to say about it.
By Thomas Cathcart and Daniel Klein
January 13, 2008
The buzz in the philosophers' corner of our neighborhood Starbucks is that the buzzword "change" has become a constant. All the candidates are mouthing it.
But just whose concept of change do they have in mind? Heraclitus? That pre-Socratic Golden Ager famously proclaimed that we can't step into the same river twice.
Hmm, if everything is always changing, what exactly is your point, Barack? And what exactly are you taking credit for, Hillary?
For a change of pace, the 19th century French philosopher and epigramist, Alphonse Karr, wrote "plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose" -- the more things change, the more they stay the same. That would seem to imply that changing things less would actually change them more, so, if we want change, we should write-in Dick Cheney. (This logic works better in French.)
No philosophical discussion of this topic would be complete without an inspection of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel's notion that change flows inevitably from the fact that the "universal elements" that constitute any particular thing are in contradiction. These contradictions result in the "disintegration of their unity" -- a new combination, and therefore, a new entity is the result. Like, the universal elements of the Bach B Minor Mass already contain the seeds of Britney Spears' "Baby One More Time." Thesis, antithesis, synthesis, and over again.
Hegel said change happens as a result of the unfolding of the World Spirit, not because some politico makes it happen. Maybe this is what Barack Obama is alluding to when he claims that he is change, not the creator of it. For that matter, maybe it's what Mitt Romney has in mind when he uses the word: kind of like saying, "I'm for whatever happens next."
Yet, as is so often the case for philosophers, our inquiry leads back to Aristotle, and in this case, Ari's warning against the subsection of the fallacy of ambiguity known as amphiboly, a statement that misleads as the result of ambiguous grammar. Like, "One morning, I shot an elephant in my pajamas."
But in the cases at hand, the problem is that there is generally no grammar. "Change" is hung out there stark naked without a "from" or "to" to predicate where we've been or where we're going. It's like those slogans on margarine that claim "50% less fat!" Less than what? Lard? Pork bellies?
By the way, most of us may want to change presidents, but that will happen regardless of which candidate any of us votes for or if we vote at all -- although apparently Romney was calling that into question when he said: "Well, you know, I think the race in Iowa was really a very clear call that people want change in Washington, not in the White House, in Washington." That's logic Aristotle wouldn't touch with his excluded middle.
But it is John McCain who wins the Aristotelian Rhetoric Prize for his creative use of another sub-fallacy of ambiguity, equivocation, in which double meanings do their magic. Attacking Romney for his flip-floppery, McCain said, "I agree, you are the candidate of change."
As for us, we tend toward the Buddhist concept of change when it comes to politics, as in the Buddhist cab driver who pocketed a $20 bill and informed the waiting customer, "Change comes only from within."
Thomas Cathcart and Daniel Klein are the authors of "Aristotle and an Aardvark Go to Washington: Understanding Political Doublespeak Through Philosophy and Jokes."

It's often difficult to find the perfect gifts for people we love. My brother's 65th birthday is rapidly approaching and for weeks I've puzzled over what to give him.
Thanks to my local library, where I'm constantly browsing the racks in search of a good read, I stumbled upon the perfect present, Thomas Cathcart and Daniel Klein's entertaining tome, Plato and a Platypus Walk Into a Bar . . . Understanding Philosophy Through Jokes. (Abrams Image, 2007)
The authors, whose 50-year friendship began when they were philosophy majors at Harvard in the late 1950s, combine their love of musing with the desire to amuse. After college, Klein went on to pursue a career in comedy, writing material for such legendary jokesters as Lily Tomlin, Flip Wilson and David Fry, while Cathcart worked in health care, including many years spent managing a hospice for AIDS patients.
Although their post-college lives diverged, the friends remained close. They even vacationed together. Every year they bade their wives and children goodbye so they could spend a couple of weeks thinking and talking about projects. The concept for Plato and a Platypus emerged during one of their annual get-togethers.
Divided into 10 chapters with titles such as Metaphysics, Logic, Ethics, and Relativity, Plato and a Platypus Walk Into a Bar uses humor to explain difficult philosophical concepts in entertaining and easy-to-understand ways. Consider this offering under the chapter titled Ethics:
Armed robbers burst into a bank, line up customers and staff against the wall, and begin to take their wallets, watches and jewelry. Two of the bank's accountants are among those waiting to be robbed. The first accountant suddenly thrusts something into the hand of the other. The second accountant whispers, "What is this?" The first accountant whispers back, "It's the fifty bucks I owe you."
The bank robber story is an example of "situation ethics" in which the ethical thing to do in any situation depends, as Cathcart and Klein explain, "on the peculiar mix of factors in that situation." The authors propose that, "paradoxically, however, it is sometimes by ignoring the specifics of the situation that we create the opportunity for self-serving action." That's what happens in the bank robber anecdote.
The 143 jokes and occasional cartoons in Cathcart and Klein's 200-page study make learning fun. Neither completely a joke book nor an educational text, this one-of-a-kind mini-book (the page size is a compact 5 by 7 inches), is suitable for men and women of all ages and backgrounds. While some of the jokes are on the edge of bawdy and others dance around political correctness, a significant number fall into the completely clean but still hysterical category.
One such ditty presented to illuminate the relativity between finite time and eternity goes like this:
A man is praying to God. "Lord," he prays, "I would like to ask you a question."
The Lord responds, "No problem. Go ahead."
"Lord, is it true that a million years to you is but a second?"
"Yes, that is true."
"Well, then, what is a million dollars to you?"
"A million dollars to me is but a penny."
"Ah, then, Lord," says the man, "may I have a penny?"
"Sure," says the Lord. "Just a second."
It didn't take me much longer than a second to realize that Plato and a Platypus is a special kind of book with an infinite capacity to entertain and illuminate. With a price tag of $18.95, it's also affordable.
If you can use a bit of laughter -- and who couldn't? -- or, if you're struggling to find the right gift for that hard-to-please someone, consider this handheld version of a Harvard philosophy class.
What happens when you mix corny jokes, one-liners and vaudeville humor with some of life's greatest lessons? You get an extraordinary read you'll want to share with as many people as possible. It's a funny-bone tickler with teeth. And that's no joke.

It’s too bad Jesus didn’t tell jokes.* True, his parables were good, but if he were around today, he probably would be more effective if he were to use the joke format. Why? Because the world (or existence, or whatever) is becoming more absurd. Salvation would be for those who understood his jokes, sheep vs. goats.
Jokes (unfortunately?) explain the world to me. Jokes are usually illogical, but to me the reverse is true—they support my view of existence.
I recommend Thomas Cathcart and Daniel Klein’s Plato and a Platypus Walk into a Bar . . . (Abrams), since it lends credence to my point of view. Its subtitle is Understanding Philosophy Through Jokes. The book includes such gems as this, which the authors use in relation to the idea of essentialism.
Abe: I got a riddle for you, Sol. What’s green, hangs on the wall, and whistles?
Sol: I give up.
Abe: A herring.
Sol: But a herring isn’t green.
Abe: So you can paint it green.
Sol: But a herring doesn’t hang on the wall.
Abe: Put a nail through it, it hangs on the wall.
Sol: But a herring doesn’t whistle!
Abe: So? It doesn’t whistle.
I’ll wager that Richard Prince owns this book. Give a copy to those who stare at you dumbly and say, “That doesn’t make sense,” after you’ve explained something via a joke. It probably won’t help.
*(a) Maybe he did to his disciples, but they didn’t record them. (Not funny enough?)
(b) Yes, perhaps his entire pitch was a joke.
(c) There are many good jokes about Jesus.
(d) Etc.

Cathcart and Klein both majored in philosophy at Harvard, but wisely chose to pursue careers in social work and comedy writing. They know their stuff, and wear their learnedness lightly, and Plato and a Platypus is a pleasure to read. The title, by the way, is a joke set-up, and they are offering a prize for whoever can come up with the best ending for it (see their website www.platoandaplatypus.com for details).

Boston Globe - Sharing laughs and a love of philosophy
SANDWICH -- Two friends are having lunch, and one tells this joke: Guy comes home from a business trip and finds his wife in bed, a nervous look on her face. He opens the closet to hang up his coat, and finds his best friend standing there, naked. Stunned, he says, "Lenny, what are you doing here?" Lenny shrugs and says, "Everybody's got to be someplace." The joke-listener laughs, then says, "He's giving a Hegelian answer to an existential question," and the joke-teller says, "Hm. There's a book here somewhere."
This curious match of amusing with a musing is the true story of how Dan Klein of Great Barrington and Tom Cathcart of Sandwich conceived the zaniest bestseller of the year: "Plato and a Platypus Walk Into a Bar: Understanding Philosophy Through Jokes." Released in the spring, the 200-page book jumped onto the New York Times bestseller list and stayed for five weeks; it's still no. 32 on the 35-title online list (the printed list has 15 titles). The book's career so far demonstrates at least one point: Writers shouldn't give up too soon on a book they believe in.
Crammed with 143 jokes and an occasional cartoon, "Plato and a Platypus" is a 10-chapter course on the classic categories of philosophy, written in a Marxist style (Groucho's), paced by the frequent appearance of Dmitri and Tasso, a comic two-man Greek chorus. The chapter titles -- "Metaphysics," "Logic," "Epistemology," "Ethics," "Existentialism," and "Philosophy of Language" -- are serious, but the content that follows is anything but.
Interviewed together on Cathcart's Cape Cod porch, the two writers manage to share the answers to questions without interrupting each other. They display such easy chemistry and create such a constant straight man/funny man repartee that one might forget that they are serious about philosophy and worked hard on this book. It's obvious that they are also serious about friendship -- the first thing out of Dan Klein's mouth was, "We've been best friends for 50 years."
Both men concentrated in philosophy at Harvard, class of 1961. Klein, 68, is from a science-oriented family. His father, a chemist, worked on the Manhattan Project. Though he says he's from "a long line of devout atheists," he is deeply interested in religious thought. After college, he had a long career as a writer for television comedies and quiz shows, writing jokes for such talents as Flip Wilson, Lily Tomlin, and impressionist David Fry. He devised stunts for Allen Funt's "Candid Camera." He says he has also written about 30 books, fiction and nonfiction, including a mystery series casting Elvis as a detective (one is titled "Blue Suede Clues"), and co-invented a bestselling board game called Group Therapy....[more]

COMMENTARY - Don't know much about philosophy?
You don't have to in order to understand and enjoy "Plato and a Platypus Walk Into a Bar ....." It helps to have a sense of humor, though. This new book, which has been popping up intermittently on The New York Times Best-Seller List, marries the serious to the silly.
Authors Thomas Cathcart and Daniel Klein explain philosophical principles through jokes of the sort suggested in their title. (You have to read to the very end for the punch line of that one.)
The exercise is not so incongruous, as philosopher and funny man both seek to shed light on the human condition and the meaning of life.
This may be Leibniz Lite, but the book really does give the uninitiated an inkling of what constitutes metaphysics, logic, epistemology, ethics, existentialism and relativity, as well as what's behind the philosophy of religion and language, and social and political philosophy.
It does so handsomely, in a compact, 200-page hardcover bound in green and orange, with decorated endpapers and illustrative cartoons. It has a little straight text, lots of jokes (many of them risqué), short chapters, a timeline of "Great Moments in the History of Philosophy" and a glossary. Would that it had an index too, but you get a lot for $18.95.
The book draws examples from the ancients, such as Buddha and Socrates, and may cause you to reformulate your opinion of Niccolo Machiavelli. It doesn't neglect contemporary "thinkers" like comic cancer victim Gilda Radner, with her existential shtick; former President Bill Clinton, with his questioning of the definition of "is"; and TV's Tony Soprano character, with his take on the Golden Rule.
The authors, well into middle-aged judging by their cover photo, were philosophy majors at Harvard. They went on to pursue the contemplative life by working with street gangs in Chicago and writing jokes for comedians.
They call their lighthearted review of thousands of years of man's deepest questioning of life "philogagging." That suggests something that sticks in the craw, but readers are likely to find their weighty jokes very "dijestible."

If there ever was a book about which one should say as little as possible so as not to spoil its next reader's enjoyment, this is it!
According to the cover, its two authors "pursued the usual careers after majoring in philosophy at Harvard." Tom Cathcart "worked with street gangs in Chicago and dropped in and out of various divinity schools." Dan Klein "wrote jokes for comedians, designed stunts for Candid Camera, and continues to pen thrillers." Their mug shots, which serve as bookends for volumes such as The Cambridge Dictionary of Philosophy and The Encyclopedia of Jewish Humor, suggests that each has been at it for a while.
Doing exactly what its title announces, using jokes to understand philosophy, it covers all of the discipline's subfields plus a chapter on "Existentialism," which seems more like a topic.
Although we have heard some of them before, the aptness of the jokes to various philosophical issues and options is both instructive and entertaining. Also taken from the book's cover, this is how they summarize existentialism: "You haven't lived until you think about death all the time." Yes!
Only the philosophically least secure will take offense at this book's humor. I especially like its jokes about free will theism and process theology, two of my favorite schools of thought. The joke about the gambler who hears a voice from process theology's God as he is playing is one that I like the very best.
Is there anyone who can write a good book on "Understanding Theology Through Jokes?" I hope so! New York: Abrams Image, 2006.

Cathcart and Klein bookend their work with their own work and their own
senses of humor. The final section of the work, with a timeline of
philosophy, gives an excellent overview of the development of the human mind
and our need to reason. It is also one more example of the inner laugh-track
these two men live with on a daily basis. Did you know, I ask, that in "1650
Descartes stopped thinking for a second and died"? Or that in 1818 "older
brothers Chico, Groucho, Gummo, Harpo, and Zeppo welcomed baby Karl into the
world"?
In fact, the laughter never ends in this miniature world of thought. Even in
the glossary which ends the book there are bright moments to be found. Real
definitions are peppered with one-liners and I challenge you to find the one
that includes this quasi-philosophical rendering: "This example will not
work for our readers at the North Pole."
Once you start this book, it is hard to put down. The jokes, the zingers and
the thought behind them carry you along like a good night at the Comedy Club
just might. The principal difference is that you end with the principle, not
the difference. Get it? Got it. Good.

Once, in the bluest of moons, a volume sneaks out from under the book
tower and begs for review. So it was with the enticingly titled Plato and a
Platypus Walk into a Bar: Understanding Philosophy Through Jokes (Abrams
Image, June, 2007).
An instant best seller, beating out the anti-Hilary pontifications
on the best-seller list, P&P establishes “philogagging,” a neologism for
using jokes to illustrate arcane philosophical precepts, as a modus
operandi. Yes, the jokes are old. So? Most accepted philosophical
constructs and struggles with meaning are even older than the jokes.
What is the principle of philogagging? C&K believe:
“The construction and payoff of jokes and the construction and
payoff of philosophical concepts are made out of the same stuff. They tease
the mind in the same ways…philosophy and jokes proceed from the same
impulse: to confound our sense of the way things are, to flip our worlds
upside down, and to ferret out hidden, often uncomfortable, truths about
life. What the philosopher calls an insight, the gagster calls a zinger.”
Just who are these philogaggers par excellence? What did Paul
Tillich, who taught these typically sixties characters, predict for their
future? What does happen to two Harvard 1960s philosophy majors as the years
pass? Just what you know happens to the rest of us. The Philosophy of Time
and the tricks of Relativity catch up with them—just as their jokes did.
Their beards are white. Their hair—what’s left—is combed over the top to
pretend there’s more wisps than meet the eye. But their wit and their grasp
of philosophy remain rich and fertile. Maybe even richer than half a century
ago.
Do all the years demonstrate whether time and truth are relative or
absolute? C&K don’t know the answer any more than do the rest of us. But
they try to figure it out. Focusing on varying perceptions of time’s
relativity, they illustrate with these jokes:
This one:
“A snail was mugged by two turtles. When the police asked him what
happened, he said, ‘I don’t know. It all happened so fast.’”
Or this:
“A man is praying to God…’Lord, is it true that a millions years to
you is but a second?’
‘Yes, that is true.’
‘Well, then, what is a million dollars to you?’
‘A million dollars to me is but a penny.’
‘Ah, then, Lord,’ says the man, ‘may I have a penny?’
‘Sure,’ says the Lord. ‘Just a second.’”
Not to be outdone by philosophy’s age-old wrestling match with the
meaning of meaning, Cathcart and Klein play with definitions of “meaning”
through the centuries. In one of their best chapters, “Philosophy of
Language,” which sees philosophy as semantics, they remember “When William
Jefferson Clinton responded to a query, ‘It depends on what your definition
of “is” is.’” Clinton was employing Language Philosophy, note C&K, adding,
“He also may have been doing other things.”
Willing to comment on philosophical history, C&K outline “Great
Moments in the History of Philosophy” in the back of the book. Their history
includes such stellar occasions as “399 A.D. A review in Alexandria Asp
dismisses Hypatia’s Neoplatonism as ‘chick lit’”; C&K add that Mary
Wollstonecraft’s A Vindication of the Rights of Women in 1792 and Simone de
Beauvoir’s The Second Sex in 1958 suffered the same fate; “1328 William
Occam invents the Gillette Mach 3”; “1650 Rene Descartes stops thinking for
a second and dies.”
Their glossary is equally enlightening—and pertinent. They define a
priori as “Known prior to experience. For example, one can know, prior to
ever watching the show, that all American Idol contestants believe they are
singers because American Idol is a singing contest for people who—for
reasons best known to themselves—believe they are singers.” The zinger here
comments, “Contrast a posteriori,” which means “Known by experience; known
empirically.”
When you walk into C&K’s literary bar (just where is it located?)
with Plato & a Platypus, do a quick reading for the jokes and then reread
their little book for all the philosophical definitions and comments that
aren’t as simple as they seem. The subjects range from metaphysics, logic,
epistemology, philosophy of language and relativity (my favorites) to
existentialism and ethics.
What to do with such a little book? Digest the philosophy, try to
remember it (that’s the tough part), and use the philogags, no matter how
tired. At your next cocktail party when the conversation lags and your feet
hurt despite your Doctor Scholl’s pads, confound your drinking confreres
with your philosophical know-how. Then, buy the book for all those
know-it-alls who disagree with you."

"Philosophy with a Sense of Humor Thomas Cathcart & Daniel Klein have published a primer on philosophy that
will appeal to even the most philosophically disinclined.
"Plato and a
Platypus Walk into a bar . . ." is philosophy with a sense of humor. Really.
The book's subtitle is "Understanding Philosophy Through Jokes."
The book is a delightful read. It is certain to introduce many
intellectually reticent young people to the joys of critical thought and
reflection. I suspect that it is destined to become a classic text.
There's a joke on every page. Sometimes two or three jokes on a page and
every one of them illustrative of a philosophic insight. There's just enough
discussion of philosophers and their beliefs to tease the reader into
searching beyond the text for a fuller understanding."

"The charming Plato and a Platypus Walk into a Bar: Understanding Philosophy
Through Jokes, by Thomas Cathcart and Daniel Klein (Abrams Image, 198 pages,
$22.95), begins with the old but always fresh "turtles all the way down"
joke - with which Stephen Hawking also begins A Brief History of Time - as
illustration of the idea of infinite regress, that is, the effort to
determine a first cause of things. There follow jokes, often very funny
jokes, that illustrate questions and principles in metaphysics, logic,
epistemology, ethics, philosophy of language, existentialism (Restaurant
customer to waiter: How do you prepare your chickens? Waiter: Oh, nothing
special. We just tell them they're gonna die)."
-- Martin Levin, Toronto Globe and Mail (Canada)

"Bottom line is that, through humor, and without turning philosophy itself
into a joke, the authors manage to make it simpler for you to understand
these often difficult-to-grasp philosophical concepts -- something you might
not have "gotten" before or otherwise. Beats a long, monotonous lecture!
As the authors reportedly say " "The construction and payoff of jokes and
the construction and payoff of philosophical concepts are made out of the
same stuff. They tease the mind in similar ways. That's because philosophy
and jokes proceed from the same impulse: to confound our sense of the way
things are, to flip our worlds upside down, and to ferret out hidden, often
uncomfortable, truths about life. What the philosopher calls an insight, the
gagster calls a zinger."

"A surprise bestseller that is a rarity -- corny and fascinating all at the
same time.
Would anyone think that two '60s Harvard philosophy graduates would be able
to put together a book that explains philosophy through humor -- some of it
deserving a snare drum beat at the end -- that is dead on delightful?
As one online reviewer notes:
In a section on Aristotle contrasting between "essential" and "accidental"
properties, Cathcar and Klein offer this illustrative joke:
When Thompson hit 70, he decided to change his lifestyle completely so he
could live longer. He went on a strict diet, he jogged, he swam and he took
sunbaths.
In just three months' time, Thompson lost 30 pounds and reduced his waist by
six inches. Svelte and tan, he decided to top it off with a new haircut.
Stepping out of the barbershop, he was hit by a bus.
As he lay dying, he cried out, "God, how could you do this to me?" [ba-ba
boom]
And a voice from the heavens responded: "To tell you the truth, Thompson, I
didn't recognize you."
We laugh - why? The answer to the question 'why' gives us understanding
about philosophy, ourselves, and the world around us."

"This is such a profound and hilarious treasure of a little book that I have ordered several as gifts for family and friends.
"Because I am long removed from the formal study of philosophy in college, I am grateful to be so smoothly and delightfully reintroduced to philosophical concepts. I intended to read only a brief section (one concept) at a time--each takes no more than fifteen minutes-- but couldn't keep away for long, and finished the book in a day. Now I've lent my copy to a friend, but I can hardly wait to get it back and read it again.
"[The illustrations are] good jokes, relevant jokes, jokes that made me laugh aloud even as they stimulated my own search.
"I don't think I have ever before had such a joyful read."

From their freshman year in college they were inseparable pals, once called
“the Mutt and Jeff of post-Kantian idealism.” That epithet somehow failed to
catch on, even though both were philosophy concentrators and Tom Cathcart
’61 and Daniel Klein ’61 do stand six-foot-five and five-foot-eight,
respectively. Both studied with Paul Tillich and Willard van Orman Quine,
and took a junior tutorial with classmate and current U.S. Supreme Court
Justice David Souter...Nearly half a century later, those epistemological
theories, truth tables, and falsifiable propositions have borne fruit in
Cathcart and Klein’s new book, Plato and a Platypus Walk into a Bar...:
Understanding Philosophy through Jokes (Abrams). Consider it Philosophy 101
as taught by Jackie Mason.

This lively and sophisticated little book explains the basics of metaphysics, logic, epistemology, ethics, existentialism, relativity, and more through jokes that illustrate each concept. The authors, both of whom were philosophy majors at Harvard many years ago, assert "that “philosophy and jokes proceed from the same impulse: to confound our sense of the way things are, to flip our worlds upside down, and to ferret out hidden, often uncomfortable, truths about life.” A sprightly crash course in philosophy, Plato and a Platypus Walk Into a Bar… is both enlightening and laugh-out-loud funny. -Bas Bleu
