Charlie Rose has called Louis C.K. ``the philosopher-king of comedy,`` and many have detected philosophical profundity in his material. Twenty-five philosophers examine the wisdom of Louis C.K. from a variety of philosophical perspectives. The chapters draw upon C.K.s standup comedy, the show Louie, and C.K.s other writings. One writer looks at the different meanings of C.K.s statement, ``Youre gonna be dead way longer than you were alive.`` One chapter shows the affinity of C.K.s ``sick of living this bullshit life`` with Kierkegaards ``sickness unto death.`` Another pursues Louiss thought that we may by our lack of moral concern ``live a really evil life without thinking about it.`` C.K.s insistence that ``things that are not cant be`` points to the philosophical problem of nothingness in relation to being. His religion is ``apathetic agnostic,`` conveyed in his thought experiment that God began work in 1982. Louiss argument that you can have the kind of body you want if you make yourself want a disgusting, shitty body, is the Stoic ethics of Epictetus. And, as C.K. has shown in so many ways, the fact that were soon going to die has its funny side.
