Monty Python and Philosophy!

Hard to sit down and read straight through unless you really like all schools of philosophical thought, and even then, I don't think individual sketches really merit in-depth philosophical explication. There is a whole chapter devoted to the Piston Engine sketch, which nearly made me stab myself in the eye. Still, definitely worthhile to leaf through if you're a Python fan with an elementary grounding in philosophy...but maybe only leaf through it, not buy it.

I enjoyed this book a lot. There were sections, such as the essay on Existentialism in Monty Python, that intrigued me enough to get up and find more of my existentialist books. The one draw back I saw was the overuse of the philosophy of Wittgenstein. He was mentioned in almost every other article, and it began to get a bit tedious.

I enjoyed it much more at the beginning. The essays started to get repetitive. They cited the same sketches and even the same quotes from philosophers it seemed at times. Interesting points were made, but after the third time they became less interesting. Still a great read for Python fans however.
