From the 1970s cult TV show, Monty Python’s Flying Circus, to the current hit musical Spamalot, the Monty Python comedy troupe has been at the center of popular culture and entertainment. The Pythons John Cleese, Graham Chapman, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, Michael Palin, and Terry Gilliam are increasingly recognized and honored for their creativity and enduring influence in the worlds of comedy and film. Monty Python and Philosophy extends that recognition into the world of philosophy. Fifteen experts in topics like mythology, Buddhism, feminism, logic, ethics, and the philosophy of science bring their expertise to bear on Python movies such as Monty Python’s Life of Brian and Flying Circus mainstays such as the Argument Clinic, the Dead Parrot Sketch, and, of course, the Bruces, the Pythons’ demented, song-filled vision of an Australian philosophy department. Monty Python and Philosophy follows the same hit format as the other titles in this popular series and explains all the philosophical concepts discussed in laymen’s terms.

The BEST book ever!

Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2006

Verified Purchase

Simply put, the best book ever conceived. The author, Gary L. Hardcastle, has done a tremendous job at capturing some essential philosophical issues in the hilarious scenes of Monty Python. From the very first page to the end of the book, humor is elegantly placed with thought provoking arguments. What's best about this book, at least in my eyes, is its diversity to an audience; it can be read and thoroughly enjoyed by an experienced and professional philosopher, or by a person who has never had a course in Philosophy and is just a fan of Monty Python. This masterpiece is accessible to all whom pick it up... and can read.

Out of all the ____ and Philosophy editions out, this is the best one yet!.. especially if you think Monty Python is at all funny. I recommend this book over any other book out there, you will not be sorry.

Great gift for any Python-lover.

After giving my son (now fifteen) the complete Monty Python library two Christmases ago, I again struck gold with this book! He laughs aloud while reading it. Can't guarantee that he's learning much philosophy from it...

Philosophical Pythonization

Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2014

Well, philosophy is hard to understand. The pythonization of concepts makes everything completely unintelligible. Bravo!

I found myself holding the Python team in even higher regard

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 24, 2017

Verified Purchase

Interesting, a little off-beat but a light enough look at the philosophical questions that Monty Python raise (and make mock of) that most readers are going to get something out of it. It's not a highbrow dissection of the comedy, it's written by people who actually watch and like Monty Python, they also happen to be philosophers.
I found myself holding the Python team in even higher regard after reading this.
