What’s the best way to answer some of the biggest questions in life—questions like: Does God exist? What is the meaning of life? Is there a basic principle for all moral decisions? What is the best way to organise society? How do we know what is true? Are there limits to what we can know? Why do things exist? Is there life after death? Is there a design to the Universe? What is a ‘self’? What is beauty? What is humankind’s place in the cosmos?
New York Times bestselling authors Daniel Klein and Thomas Cathcart have the answer: I Think, Therefore I Draw is a hilarious new exploration of philosophy through cartoons—a thorough introduction to all the major debates in philosophy through history to the present day.
Packed with humour and loaded with profound philosophical insight, I Think, Therefore I Draw will delight and enlighten readers.
Thomas Cathcart and Daniel Klein have known each other since they were philosophy students at Harvard. They have written several bestsellers together, including Plato and a Platypus Walk into a Bar and Aristotle and an Aardvark Go to Washington. Cathcart is the author of The Trolley Problem, or Would You Throw the Fat Guy Off the Bridge? Klein’s other books include Travels with Epicurus and Every Time I Find the Meaning of Life, They Change It.
‘One is left marvelling at the depths the authors find in seemingly whimsical or simple sketches…A guide for those who like to smile wryly as they gently exercise their brains.’ Age

Inimitable! A pure delight. I read it through once for fun. And it was. And again to educate myself. And I did! Tom and Dan do it again! Few things in the life of an octogenarian are as delightfully entertaining as this little gem.
