The Mind and Body Shop

"SPINOZA IN THE JACUZZI, SCHOPENHAUER IN THE SHOPPING HOUR, AND KIERKEGAARD A-GO-GO..."

A sleepy British university has just been booted into the crass commercial world of the 1980s. A private corporation has taken over the campus and is determined to make education pay—or else. Now tweedy philosophy professor Douglas Hambro is in big trouble. He's got one semester to keep Aristotle and friends from being sent to the shredder. Hambro's sensational solution—the Mind and Body Shop. Set up in the town's red-light district, it will use sex and great bodies to sell ideas and great minds—and to teach an unforgettable lesson to us all.

Zany black comedy that probes higher education's growing concern for funding and fat profits, this is satire at its finest—filled with searing truth.
