• “By wryly recounting conversations he has with Rex and Hank during bath time, before bed, on the way to and home from school, Hershovitz sets out to prove that philosophy, like inquisitive, rowdy children, can offer illuminating insights . . . From his perspective, a mind that's most receptive to complexities and compassion would likely belong to a child, someone, I presume, a lot like the little prince in Antoine de Saint-Exupery's unforgettable classic. Perhaps Hershovitz is like the fox figure who tells the little prince (and us) his ‘simple secret,’ that ‘it is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.’" ―Thuy đinh, NPR “This amazing new book . . . takes us on a journey through classic and contemporary philosophy powered by questions like ‘What do we have the right to do? When is it okay to do this or that?’ They explore punishment and authority and sex and gender and race and the nature of truth and knowledge and the existence of God and the meaning of life and Scott just does an incredible job.” ―Ryan Holiday, The Daily Stoic “Let us not ignore the radical nature of this. A philosopher, a man, has written a whole book arguing that the setting of the home and the daily act of parenting can lead to profound philosophical insight and debate . . . Hershovitz’s book has already enhanced my philosophical conversations with my children . . . I learn so much from these conversations, intellectually and―a territory philosophy tends to avoid―emotionally.” ―Elissa Strauss, The Atlantic "Luminously clear and breezily demotic."―Jonathan Derbyshire, The FT “Compelling . . . genuinely valuable . . . vibrant, funny and provocative.” ―Tom Whyman, The Times Literary Supplement “An enormously rich and mind-expanding book, which anyone will gain from reading, especially parents.” ―John Carey, The Sunday Times “Delightful . . . Witty and self-deprecating, Nasty, Brutish, and Short explores the wonder that young kids bring to their efforts to make sense of the world―and what grown-ups can learn from it.” ―Barbara Spindel, Christian Science Monitor “Really great and quite funny.” ―Keith Law, author of The Inside Game “Hershovitz . . . mixes wit and wisdom in this thoroughly enjoyable philosophical tour that uses conversations with the author’s two sons to demonstrate that 'anyone can do philosophy and every kid does’ . . . Fun anecdotes abound, and Hershovitz demonstrates how to engage children by taking them seriously, teaching them to ask questions, and encouraging them to explore the world―things adults can learn from, as well. This sincere and smart account puts to rest the idea that philosophy belongs in academia’s ivory tower.” ―Publishers Weekly (starred review) “Equal parts hilarious (for years, Hank kept up a facade of not knowing the alphabet to worry his dad) and profound (4-year-old Rex: ‘I think that, for real, God is pretend, and for pretend, God is real’) . . . clear and lively . . . A playful... yet serious introduction to philosophy.” ―Kirkus “This book made me laugh and also think hard, sometimes on the same page. Highly recommended for anyone with kids, especially kids who wonder ‘Why?’” ―Emily Oster, bestselling author of The Family Firm “This is the only parenting book I would insist everyone read, whether they have kids or not. Hershovitz is a total delight―energetic, compassionate, patient, wise, and very, very funny, even when he is talking about weighty or difficult ideas. I'm grateful to have him as a model for how to talk to my children and how to think alongside them.” ―Merve Emre, author of The Personality Brokers “Funny and fascinating. Prompted by conversations with his two young sons, Scott Hershovitz walks us through some of philosophy’s stickiest questions: Does the universe go on forever? Can we really know anything? Is it ok to use swear words? Should you take revenge? Nasty, Brutish, and Short is an easy-to-read primer on how to discuss these profound topics with children, and how to think about them yourself.” ―Pamela Druckerman, author of Bringing Up Bebe “In his witty and learned book Nasty, Brutish, and Short, Hershovitz intertwines parenting and philosophy, recounting his spirited arguments with his kids about infinity, morality, and the existence of God, and teaching half a liberal arts curriculum along the way.” ―Jordan Ellenberg, New York Times bestselling author of Shape “This delightful book is about philosophy and, ultimately, how to better love your kids. Want to cherish them, respect them, help them learn? Then join them in their natural wonderment and enjoy the philosophical fun!” ―Aaron James, bestselling author of Assholes: A Theory and Professor of Philosophy at UC Irvine “This book will teach you how to transform the endless questions of childhood into the endless wonder of philosophy.” ―Barry Lam, Host and Executive Producer, Hi-Phi Nation podcast, Associate Professor of Philosophy, Vassar College

• Introduction I nee a philosopher.” Hank was standing in the bathroom, half-naked. “What?” Julie asked. “I nee a philosopher.” “Did you rinse?” “I nee a philosopher,” Hank said, getting more agitated. “You need to rinse. Go back to the sink.” “I nee a philosopher!” Hank demanded. “Scott!” Julie shouted. “Hank needs a philosopher.” I am a philosopher. And no one has ever needed me. I rushed to the bathroom. “Hank, Hank! I’m a philosopher. What do you need?” He looked puzzled. “You are not a philosopher,” he said sharply. “Hank, I am a philosopher. That’s my job. What’s bothering you?” He opened his mouth but didn’t say anything. “Hank, what’s bothering you?” “DER’S FOMETHING FUCK IN MY FEETH.” A flosser. Hank needed a flosser―one of those forked pieces of plastic with dental floss strung across it. In retrospect, that makes sense. A flosser is something you could need, especially if you are two and your purpose in life is to pack landfills with cheap pieces of plastic that pro- vided a temporary diversion. A philosopher is not something that people need. People like to point that out to philosophers. “What do philosophers do, exactly?” “Um, uh . . . we think, mostly.” “What do you think about?” “Anything, really. Justice, fairness, equality, religion, law, language . . .” “I think about those things. Am I a philosopher?” “You might be. Do you think about them carefully?” I cannot count the number of times that I’ve had that conversation. But that’s because I’ve never had it. It’s just how I imagine things would go if I were to tell a stranger that I’m a philosopher. I almost always say that I am a lawyer. Unless I am talking to a lawyer; then I say that I’m a law professor, so that I can pull rank. If I am talking to another law professor, though, then I’m definitely a philosopher. But if I am talking to a philosopher, I’m back to being a lawyer. It’s an elaborate shell game, carefully constructed to give me an edge in any conversation. But I am a philosopher. And I still find that improbable. I didn’t set out to be one. As a first-semester freshman at the University of Georgia, I wanted to take Intro Psychology. But the class was full, and Intro Philosophy fulfilled a requirement. If a spot had come open in that psychology class, then I might be a psychologist and this book might be full of practical parenting advice. There is a bit of parenting advice in this book, but most of it is not so practical. Indeed, my main advice is just this: talk to your kids (or somebody else’s). They’re funny as hell―and good philosophers too. I missed the first day of that philosophy class, because my people―Jews, not philosophers―celebrate the New Year at a more or less random time each fall. But I went to the second class, and by the second hour I was hooked. The professor, Clark Wolf, asked each of us what mattered, and as he went around the room, he scratched our answers on the board alongside our names and the names of famous philosophers w...ho had said something similar. Happiness: Robyn, Lila, Aristotle Pleasure: Anne, Aristippus, Epicurus Doing the Right Thing: Scott, Neeraj, Kant Nothing: Vijay, Adrian, Nietzsche Seeing my name on the board made me think that my thoughts about what mattered might matter―that I could be a part of a conversation that included people like Aristotle, Kant, and Nietzsche. It was a crazy thing to think, and my parents were not happy to find me thinking it. I remember sitting across from my father in a rotisserie chicken restaurant, reporting that I planned to major in philosophy. “What’s philosophy?” he asked. That is a good question. He didn’t know the answer becau e when he registered for classes, there was a spot left in psychology, and that became his major. But I realized that I had a problem: I didn’t know the answer either, and I had been in a philosophy class for several weeks. What is philosophy, I wondered, and why do I want to study it? I decided to show my dad rather than tell him. “We think we’re sitting at a table, eating rotisserie chicken and having a conversation about how college is going,” I started. “But what if we aren’t? What if someone stole our brains, put them in a vat, hooked them up to electrodes, and stimulated them so as to make us think that we’re eating chicken and talking about college?” “Can they do that?” he asked. “I don’t think so, but that’s not the question. The question is how do we know that they didn’t? How do we know that we aren’t brains in vats, hallucinating a chicken dinner?” “That’s what you want to study?” The look on his face was something other than encouraging. “Yeah, I mean, don’t you see the worry? Everything we think we know could be wrong.” He did not see the worry. And this was before The Matrix came out, so I couldn’t appeal to the authority of Keanu Reeves to establish the urgency of the issue. After a few more minutes of muttering about brains and vats, I added, “The department has lots of logic classes too.” “Well,” he said, “I hope you take those.” ~ I said that it’s improbable that I’m a philosopher. But that’s not right. What’s improbable is that I’m still a philosopher―that my dad didn’t put a stop to it, at that dinner or long before. Because I was a phi- losopher almost from the time that I could talk, and I am not alone in that. Every kid―every single one―is a philosopher. They stop when they grow up. Indeed, it may be that part of what it is to grow up is to stop doing philosophy and to start doing something more practical. If that’s true, then I’m not fully grown up, which will come as a surprise to exactly no one who knows me. It’s not for lack of trying on my parents’ part. I remember the first time I pondered a philosophical puzzle. I was five, and it hit me during circle time at the JCC kindergarten. I thought about it all day, and at pickup time I rushed to tell my mother, who taught a preschool class down the hall. “Mommy,” I said, “I don’t know what red looks like to you.” “Yes, you do. It looks red,” she said. “Right . . . well, no,” I stammered. “I know what red looks like to me, but I don’t know what it looks like to you.” She looked confused, and to be fair, I may not have been clear. I was five. But I struggled mightily to get her to see what I was saying. “Red looks like that,” she said, pointing to something red. “I know that’s red,” I said. “So what’s the trouble?” “I don’t know what red looks like to you.” “It looks like that,” she said, increasingly exasperated. “Right,” I said, “but I don’t know what that looks like to you. I know what it looks like to me.” “It looks the same, sweetheart.” “You don’t know that,” I insisted. “Yes, I do,” she said, pointing again. “That’s red, right?” She didn’t get it, but I was not deterred. “We call the same things red,” I attempted to explain, “because you pointed to red things and told me they were red. But what if I see red the way you see blue?” “You don’t. That’s red, not blue, right?” “I know we both call that red,” I said, “but red could look to you the way blue looks to me.” I don’t know how long we went round on that, but my mother never did see the point I was making. (Mom, if you’re reading this, I’m happy to try again.) And I distinctly remember her concluding the conversation: “Stop worrying about this. It doesn’t matter. You see just fine.” That was the first time someone told me to stop doing philosophy. It was not the last. ~ Philosophers call the puzzle I pressed on my mother the shifted color spectrum. The idea is typically credited to John Locke, the seventeenth-century English philosopher whose ideas influenced the Framers of the United States Constitution. But I’d bet that thousands of kindergarten-aged kids got there first. (Indeed, Daniel Dennett, a prominent philosopher of mind, reports that many of his students recall pondering the puzzle when they were little.) Their parents probably didn’t understand what they were saying, or see th
