In Philosophy in Comics, Michael F. Patton and Kevin Cannon introduce us to the great tradition of the search for meaning in life. With the sage Heraclitus as our guide, we travel along the winding river of philosophy, meeting influential thinkers from nearly three millennia of Western thought and witnessing great debates on every aspect of knowledge, from ethics to the concept of self to the nature of reality. Combining Cannon's playful art with Patton's humorous and informative prose, Philosophy in Comics puts the fun back into the search for fundamental truths, imparting a love of wisdom to anyone willing to pick up a paddle and join the journey down the river of knowledge.
From Socrates to Spinoza, from Democritus to Nietzsche, from Aristotle to Darwin, from Kant to Alan Turing!
A crash course, but in-depth, in the most important ideas of Western thought.
