For generations, Dr. Seuss has guided children through the thorny thickets of life. With the help of Socrates and Sneetches, this book guides adults on the quest for the meaning of life, friendship, and compassion. A must-read for lovers of wisdom and lovers of the Lorax. -- William Irwin, author of Seinfeld and Philosophy, The Simpsons and Philosophy, and The Matrix and Philosophy Horton heard a Who, and I was forever changed by the realization that there might be whole worlds, adjacent to or embedded within our own, of which most folks are completely unaware. Now that I am a responsible grownup, such thoughts are often displaced by practical matters of more immediate concern. As a professional philosopher, however, I am contractually obligated to invoke the sense of wonder that once came so spontaneously. Reading the essays in More Dr. Seuss and Philosophy reminded me exactly why I was drawn to philosophy in the first place. Regardless of age or occupation, this collection will invite both your inner child and your inner philosopher to ponder the meaning of life, the role of friendship, the nature of humanity, and many other timeless and timely questions. -- Mimi Marinucci, Eastern Washington University Aristotle, Socrates, Kant, andTheodore Geisel? In this volume, Jacob Held and his talented band of contributing authorssometimes, in the familiar rhyme, mind youpay homage to the author otherwise known as Dr. Seuss. In convincing but still light-hearted ways, they explain how a hatted cat, a grinning grinch, colored fish, an egg-sitting elephant, and star-bellied sneetches playfully conveyed valuable insights about the good life and living well with others. In doing so, they show how Dr. Seuss was indeed something of a philosopher. Learning has never been so fun, you just need to know how! -- Dean A. Kowalski, author of "Joss Whedon as Philosopher" "Philosophical Wisdom! Whimsey! And Fun! Open this book and see what they've done! These sages have gathered and bundled such thought, They've made you a book that needs to be bought!" -- Tom Morris, bestselling author of If Aristotle Ran General Motors, Philosophy for Dummies, and The Oasis Within
