 .Pooh
and the Philosophers : In Which It Is Shown That All of Western
Philosophy Is Merely a Preamble to Winnie-The-Pooh by
John
Tyerman Williams, Ernest
H. Shepard (Illustrator)In this
splendidly preposterous volume, John Tyerman Williams sets out
to prove beyond all reasonable doubt that the whole of Western
philosophy - from the ancient Greeks to the existentialists of
this century - may be found in the works of A. A. Milne.
Williams shows how Pooh - referred to here as "the Great
Bear" - explains and illuminates the most profound ideas of
the great thinkers, from Aristotle and Plato to Sartre and
Camus.

Through modern examples using computer jargon, profound
philosophical concepts can be easily understood. Removal of ignorance is an analog
process (education) while enlightenment is a digital state of awareness.
Philosophy can be fun, too!

Introduction:
The pantheon of philosophy has contributed previous little to the
English language, compared with other fields. What can philosophy offer
to compare with the galvanizing volts, ohms and watts of physics, the
sandwiches, cardigans, and raglan sleeves of the British upper crust,
the sado-masochism of their Continental counterparts, or even the
leotards of the circus world? We speak of merely platonic affairs, and
Gilbert Ryle has given his name to a measure of beer (roughly
three-quarters of a pint), but the former is inappropriate to say the
least, and the latter is restricted to the patois used in certain
quarters of Oxford. There are, of course, the legion of pedantic terms
ending in "ian" and "ism", such as
"neo-Augustinian Aristotelianism", "Russellian theory of
descriptions", and such marginally philosophic terms as
"Cartesian coordinate" and "Machiavellian", but
these terms have never been, nor deserved to be, a living part of the
language. To remedy this situation we propose that philosophers make a
self-conscious effort to adopt the following new terms. With a little
practice these terms can become an important part of your vocabulary, to
the point that you will wonder how philosophy ever proceeded without
them.
