In this joyous introduction to the major debates in Western philosophy, we see how cartoons can shed light and humour on life’s Big Questions. Topics such as gender, morality and the meaning of life are examined here with a razor wit and eye.

Open this book (if it actually exists) and meet philosophers interrogating the world:

De Beauvoir on a building site.

Kant in a snowglobe.

Machiavelli on a tennis court.

This is philosophy as you’ve never seen it before.

‘I very much enjoyed it. Funny, succinct…just like a good cartoon.’

Daniel Klein and Thomas Cathcart studied philosophy together at Harvard in the last millennium. Since then they have become the bestselling authors of Plato and a Platypus Walk Into a Bar. Daniel is also the author of Travels with Epicurus and Every Time I Find the Meaning of Life, They Change It.
