Books with title Pooh and the philosophers

This author sets out to prove that the whole of western philosophy, from the cosmologists of Ancient Greece to the existentialists of the twentieth century may be found in the pages of "Winnie-the-Pooh" and "The House at Pooh Corner". He attempts to show how the "Great Bear" explains and often illuminates the most profound ideas of the greatest thinkers of history, from Plato, Hume and Kant to Nietzsche, Heidegger and Sartre. The book is illustrated with a selection of E.H. Shepard's original drawings.
