About this listen

As Douglas Adams points out, if there is no final answer to the question "what is the meaning of life?" 42 is as good or bad an answer as any other. Indeed, 42 quotes might be even better! Gary Cox guides us through 42 of the most misunderstood, misquoted, provocative, and significant quotes in the history of philosophy, providing witty and compelling commentary along the way.

Really well put together overview of thoughts and their thinkers. I enjoyed the personal back story to each quote. I'm Now inspired to go out and read in further detail the philosophers that chimed with me! Recommended.

Great overview
