Summary: Why Professor Morris is universally beloved by his students
Comment: This is a great little book devoting a page or so to many famous philosophers, with just enough information to be intriguing. It demonstrates that there is plenty to laugh about in the study of philosophy. Another useful characteristic...it's funny even if you know nothing about philosophy, but the more familiar you are with the players, the more amusing it is. I'm sorry to see that it's out of print...I think most of my fellow Notre Dame grads from my year own a copy.

Summary: Tongue-firmly-in-cheek look at major figures in Philosophy
Comment: Morris claims to have written this book as a quickie source for philosophical information for those who want to be able to drop names at cocktail parties without embarrassing themselves. Actually, it is a humorous, but well-informed look at most of the principle figures in the history of philosophy. Included are Morris's imaginative drawings of these men, done with black magic marker. I have used this book as a companion to the main textbook in my History of Philosophy classes in college, and students appreciate it a great deal. If you have a sense of humor and enjoy philosophy, it is well worth the price
