I THINK, THEREFORE I DRAW:

Where did these amazingly talented philosophical cartoonists come from? Wittgenstein once said that a serious and good philosophical work could be written that consisted entirely of jokes and we have been blessed with Nietzschean cartoonists, Aristotelian, Sartrean, post-Kantrian and Marxist cartoonists and many are spot on topic, with keen observations of the state of our society, its quirks and ironies. A paradox walks into a bar, we're all like so evolved, Hallelujah come on get happy, carpe diem... In this delightful introduction to the major debates of Western thought, life's Big Questions, from morality and gender to the meaning of existence, are explored with insight and playfulness. Open the book (if it actually exists) and meet philosophers in unexpected places: De Beauvoir on a building site, Kant trapped in a snowglobe, Machiavelli on a tennis court. With cartoons that illuminate as much as they entertain, this is philosophy reimagined for anyone curious, amused, or both. Well illus. with cartoons, 302 page paperback.
