80세 노년의 철학자들이 세계 최고의 명문대를 졸업하고 알게 된 것들 미국인이 가장 사랑하는 철학 콤비이자 [뉴욕타임스] 베스트셀러 작가 대니얼 클라인과 토마스 캐스타트는 하버드대학교 학창 시절 이렇게 생각했다. “철학을 공부하면 적어도 최선의 삶으로 가는 차표 정도는 끊을 수 있을 거야.” 하지만 그들은 계속 삶에 부딪혔다. 인생의 의미는 찾았다 싶으면 또다시 바뀌기 마련이었고, 철학을 안다고 인생의 결정을 내리는 데도 큰 도움이 되지 않았다. 하지만 80년 동안 인생을 경험하고 나서야 그들은 깨닫는다. 철학자들은 언제나 정답을 말하고 있었다는 걸을. 삶의 의미는 발견하는 것이 아니라 ‘만드는’ 것이었고, 인생에 정답이 없는 이유는 우리가 절대 ‘단 하나의’ 답을 얻을 수 없기 때문이었다. 어떻게 살아야 할지 막막하다면, 여전히 답을 찾아 헤매고 있다면 이 책을 읽길 바란다. 80년의 경험이 녹아 있는 이 책이야말로 인생이라는 여행의 진정한 지도가 되어줄 것이다. A hilarious new exploration of philosophy through cartoons from the duo who brought you the New York Times bestselling Plato and a Platypus Walk Into A Bar... Thomas Cathcart and Daniel Klien have been thinking deep thoughts and writing jokes for decades, and now they are here to help us understand Philosophy through cartoons, and cartoons through Philosophy. Covering topics as diverse as religion, gender, knowledge, morality, and the meaning of life (or the lack thereof), I Think, Therefore I Draw gives a thorough introduction to all of the major debates in philosophy through history and the present. And since they explain with the help of a selection of some of the smartest cartoonists working today, you'll breeze through these weighty topics as you guffaw and slap your knee. Cathcart and Klein's Plato and a Platypus Walk into a Bar... and Heidegger and a Hippo Walk Through Those Pearly Gates have been a favorite of philosophers and non-philosophers alike for years. Packed with dozens of witty cartoons and loaded with profound philosophical insight, I Think, Therefore I Draw will delight readers and leave them enlightened. |
