Pooh and the Philosophers is a book by John Tyerman Williams, published by Dutton, 1996, using A.A. Milne's character Winnie the Pooh and a part of the "Wisdom of Pooh" series. It is not a fictional storybook like many of the Pooh novels but tells of how all of Western philosophy from the last 3000 years is the long preparation for Winnie the pooh. The book is both humorous and intellectual whether the author intended it to be or not.
The Book
The first chapter, entitled "What this book is about" the author explains how philosophy fits into Pooh. Then, throughout the rest of the book Williams explains lots of philosophical theories using many different Pooh quotes such as the famous quote by René Descartes "I think therefore I am" and takes it down to a very simple level.
