Pooh and the Philosophers is a 1995 book by John Tyerman Williams, purporting to show how all of Western philosophy from the last 3,000 years was a long preparation for Winnie the Pooh.[1] It was published in 1995 by Dutton in the United States and by Methuen in the United Kingdom, using A. A. Milne's fictional bear Winnie-the-Pooh, and is intended to be both humorous and intellectual.

Authorship and content

J. T. Williams explains a number of philosophical theories using many different Milne quotation, such as René Descartes's "I think therefore I am," and distills them down to a very simple level. Williams is a retired schoolteacher who lives in Trethevy, Cornwall.
