Drawing on the writings of the great philosophers, You Kant Make it Up sends the reader on thrilling, non-stop tour of their most outrageous and counter-intuitive conclusions. Harry Potter is real. Matter doesn't exist. Dan Brown is better than Shakespeare. All these statements stem from philosophy's greatest minds, from Plato to Nietzsche. What were they thinking? Overflowing with compelling arguments for the downright strange - many of which are hugely influential today - popular philosopher Gary Hayden shows that just because something is odd, doesn't mean that someone hasn't argued for it. Spanning ethics, logic, politics, sex and religion, this unconventional introduction to philosophy will challenge your assumptions, expand your horizons, infuriate, entertain and amuse you.

This was a good book which straddles those Intro classes and basic philosophy courses which most people now avoid. In Catholic seminaries today two years of philosophy courses, taken anywhere, are required before theology work begins.
This book has a unique style. It took me a bit of time to get used to it but once I did I enjoyed the writing even if the questions weren’t always answered to my satisfaction.
Hayden has a master’s degree so I was jealous that he wrote this book and got it published as opposed to writing a philosophical article or two.
Each chapter has a question from a specific philosopher which Hayden examines in a few pages. Usually the philosopher commits a logical fallacy which Hayden sees as a way to enter into larger discussion on philosophical topics. Those topics are then self-referenced within the other chapters of the book. Good book, although slightly misleading at times. ( )
