A Thinking Man's Graphic Novel |
What is reality? Is there one reality or many subjective realities?
What is truth? Can truth actually be determined?
Do we have a free will or is our life predetermined?
These questions and more are examined in Philosophy: A Discovery in Comics by Margreet de Heer. She examines and digests western philosophers including Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Erasmus, Descartes, Spinoza, and Nietzsche.
So don't expect Spider-Man to ponder how to defeat the unstoppable Juggernaut. This graphic novel tackles the REALLY tough questions about life, the universe, and our role in it.
