Winnie-the-Pooh series
Pooh and the Philosophers
About this book
In this witty and entertaining excursion through previously uncharted areas of the world of Pooh, John Tyerman Williams sets out to prove beyond all reasonable doubt that the whole of Western philosophy--from the cosmologists of ancient Greece to existentialism in this century--may be found in Winnie-the-Pooh and The House at Pooh Corner. Reminding us of Nietzsche's doctrine of Great Recurrence, Williams throws fresh light on Pooh's circular pursuit of the Woozle -- not to mention the Empirical test of a pot of honey, right to the bottom.
This book will confirm, once and for all, what many will have long suspected: that Pooh is a Bear of Enormous Brain. --back cover
