Summary: An interesting and enlightening read.
Comment: As an English professor, I constantly search for ways to make the academic topical and relevant. Bill Irwin's book does just that. Through a series of essays, the reader begins to understand the philisophical underpinnings of the comedy program, and that a sometimes dry subject like philosopy is interesting and, yes, even fun. Yada yada yada this is not. Seinfeld and the Tao? Sure. Plato and Nietzsche, existentialism,Peterman and paradoxes, and more. The philosophy of Newman? Why not?Seinfeld and Philosophy [A Book about Everything and Nothing] is a lot of fun. Get it, read it, and examine both your own life and the often ludicrous trials of daily life. An excellent text. L. Ruiz - Chair, Dept. of English, Greenfield Community College

Summary: Smart AND entertaining!!!
Comment: Fantastic reading!! What a clever way to relate classic philosophical views to everyday life in the '90s! Compare them to everyone's favorite sitcom! It's fun, easy to read, and makes you think...without even trying! Philosophy teachers should use it as a tool. Seinfeld lovers should read it to see that all along their favorite show really WAS about something! The author and the subject were a perfect match. It's obvious through his writing that Bill Irwin is quite knowledgable about the subject and his sense of humor really shines through. This reader can't wait for the next Bill Irwin book!!

Summary: giddyup- a book for everyone
Comment: You dont have to like seinfeld to enjoy this book. You dont have to like philosopy to enjoy this book. This compilation of 14 essays, all of which are thoroughly completed by experienced philosophy professors, is a rare documentary that will intrigue anybody. The essays explain, in great detail, the deal with the seinfeld, and the components of philosophy. The novel uses textual examples from seinfeld (most of which are very funny), and insightful text from a wide range of philosophers. Furthermore what makes the work so pleasing is that the complex philosophy that seinfeld is linked to is explained very simply so that the most inexperienced of philosophy students, but still the most qualified seinfeld expert will be entertained. And vice versa. So even though Jerry doesnt read as much as his counterpart Kevin (The Bizarro Jerry), do not be discouraged form reading this wonderful commentary.
