Does Santa Exist?: A Philosophical Investigation

By Eric Kaplan

Book Overview

A humorous philosophical investigation into the existence of Santa from a co-executive producer of The Big Bang Theory--the perfect stocking stuffer for the deep thinker on everyone's list.

Emmy award-winning comedy writer and philosophy scholar Eric Kaplan brilliantly turns a search for the truth about Santa into a laugh-out-loud metaphysical romp. Surveying everything from the analytic philosophy of Bertrand Russell and Ludwig Wittgenstein to Buddhism, Taoism, and Kabbalah, Kaplan alights on comedy--including The Big Bang Theory and Monty Python--as the best way to resolve life's most profound paradoxes, including the existence of perfect moments, Santa, and even God.
