Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Philosophy is a fun introduction to deep thinking and the history of philosophy in an accessible comic format. All the most pressing philosophical matters are addressed what is thinking? And how does our thinking set us apart from other animals? Now that readers are thinking, what is reality? Is there an objective reality or are there numerous subjective realities? And do individuals move in it with a free will or is everything predestined? This is a colourful journey through the fascinating and slightly mind-boggling history of Western philosophy.
Translated from the Dutch.
