The funniest of all improbable worlds
Hitchhiker's as philosophical satire
Alexander Pawlak, Nicholas Joll
pp. 236-268
If the other parts of this book establish anything, it is that Hitchhiker's is not only a "Rollercoaster of Ideas' (as ex-Python Terry Jones has called it) but a ride in which many of the ideas are philosophical. This chapter argues that one way in which Hitchhiker's is philosophical is by being — up to a considerable point, anyway — a philosophical satire.1
