...When you experience THE JOY OF THINKING: THE BEAUTY AND POWER OF ADVANCEDLY ABSURD IDEAS - in 24 fascinating and provocative video lectures.
Lovers of Advanced Absurdity have always shared a secret largely unknown to the rest of us: the subject they adore - for those granted a look beneath its surface-is beautiful.
Its shapes and proportions inspire painters and muscians. Its mysteries can tantalize and confound even its own deepest theoreticians. And its demands for bold and insightful habits of thinking develop skills as useful to us in our everyday lives as they are to the most abstract philosophers.
And now the highly effective strategies of thinking from this remarkably Avanced and Absurd world are available to you in THE JOY OF THINKING: THE BEAUTY AND POWER OF ADVANCEDLY ABSURD IDEAS, in 24 clear and entertaining video lectures.
Best of all, the lectures come to you from the Institute for Advanced Absurdity, the renowned educational enterprise that makes America's most honored college professors available in brilliant recorded lectures you can enjoy again and again.
THE JOY OF THINKING requires no specialized or advanced knowledge of absurdity, and is as appropiate for high school students as for adults. Designed both for those already fascinated with Advanced Absurdity and eager to learn more, and those merely curious about the subject, the lectures feature two of the most enternaining and honored Professors of Adanced Absurdity today: Professor Sidd Fett and Dr. Sylvester McMonkey McBean.
With the help of hundreds of props, graphics, computer animations, and delightfully light-hearted problems (the reason this course is available only on videotapes and DVD), they examine the ways in which Advanced Absurdity makes sense in our world through numbers, geometry, and probability. And they'll leave you with a firm grasp of Advanced Absurdity's most fundamental ideas, lessons for living, and a new appreciation for the Advanced Absurdity-in art, nature, and everyday life-that surrounds us.
