Lars and W., the two preposterous philosophical anti-heroes of Spurious and Dogma--called "Uproarious" by the New York Times Book Review--return and face a political, intellectual, and economic landscape in a state of total ruination.

With philosophy professors being moved to badminton departments and gin in short supply--although not short enough--the two hapless intellectuals embark on a relentless mission. Well, several relentless missions. For one, they must help gear a guerilla philosophy movement--conducted outside the academy, perhaps under bridges--that will save the study of philosophy after the long, miserable decades of intellectual desert known as the early 21st-century.

For another, they must save themselves, perhaps by learning to play badminton after all. Gin isn't free, you know.
