Description

The most fun philosophy lesson you will ever attend!

"If this isn't the "Platonic ideal" of a comic book, then I don't know what is! "Philosophy in Comics" by Michael F. Patton and Kevin Cannon is exceptional, and this is probably the only thing that all philosophers you will find in the pages of the book could agree on".

Jim Ottaviani, author of THE IMITATION GAME, FEYNMAN, and PRIMATES

In "Philosophy in Comics", Michael F. Patton and Kevin Cannon introduce us to a complex world in the simplest way possible. With Heraclitus as our guide, we travel through the river of philosophy, getting to know influential thinkers who have left their mark over a span of three millennia, and witnessing discussions and disagreements on various fields: from logic and reason to ethics and the concept of the divine.

Combining Cannon's playful sketches with Patton's humorous and informative texts, "Philosophy in Comics" makes the search for truth entertaining once again, while simultaneously transmitting to us the love for wisdom and knowledge.

"Michael F. Patton and Kevin Cannon have achieved something amazing: a comprehensive introduction to philosophy in comic book form. With unparalleled spirit, excellent pace, and fantastic artwork, the creators introduce the reader, in a simple yet precise way, to basic ideas from the world of philosophy, immersing them in the Western way of thinking".

Mark Lance, Professor of Philosophy and Law, Georgetown University

Read an excerpt

YOU HAVE PROBABLY HEARD THAT PHILOSOPHY IS THE LOVE OF WISDOM. HOWEVER, IT IS SOMETHING MUCH MORE EXCITING. IT IS THE SEARCH FOR WISDOM, AND THIS IS BOTH AN ACTIVITY AND AN ADVENTURE AT THE SAME TIME. TO PHILOSOPHIZE, YOU MUST SEARCH AND SEE WHAT OTHER PHILOSOPHERS THOUGHT AND WHY THEY THOUGHT IT. THEN, YOU WILL FALL IN LOVE WITH WISDOM… …AND MAYBE CREATE YOUR OWN AS WELL. NOW, BACK IN MY DAYS, AROUND 500 B.C., THE FIELD OF PHILOSOPHY DID NOT EXIST (NOR, OF COURSE, BOOKS LIKE THIS ONE). ONLY THE DESIRE TO DISCOVER THE TRUTH BEHIND OUR WORLD AND OURSELVES. IT IS AN EXCITING JOURNEY OF 2,500 YEARS THAT STILL HAS NOT ENDED!

BELIEVE ME, YOU NEED A GUY LIKE ME TO POINT OUT THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS, OTHERWISE YOU MIGHT EASILY GET SCARED. BUT WHERE TO START? IT WORKS. AAAH! TIK TIK GLUB BLUB BLUB GLUB WE WILL START WITH A PRE-SOCRATIC COLLEAGUE NAMED THALES. THALES, DISSATISFIED WITH ALL THAT WE SAW BEFORE, TRIED TO ANSWER QUESTIONS BY OBSERVING NATURE. BASED ON HIS OBSERVATIONS, THALES DECIDED THAT LIFE CONSISTED OF WATER. I WILL BE YOUR GUIDE ON THIS JOURNEY

    The content has a peculiar design. It is not a story like a classic comic, but a narration of selected sections of philosophy, based on the teachings of selected philosophers, in unrelated chronological order. Some chapters, such as those regarding God and Ethics, which I found more interesting, passed quickly, while others, more theoretical, regarding types of arguments, I found boring and unnecessary in a comic.
