I Think, Therefore I Draw kindle books
I ve spent my life explaining things with cartoons Though funny to me they did not always tickle others funny bones or help the explanation The problem being of course if you have to explain what it means it stops being funny This book is great though sometimes there was a tad of too much explanation I assume that s the problem of philosophy Hardcover This was a fun short easy read Some of the philosophical points were a bit dry to read through but overall I found to like than dislike It is a very accessible entry into some philosophical ideas that I may be looking into from other sources Hardcover Initial thoughts Two days shy of a year FI NAL LY Yes it took me that long to read this book cover to cover. I Think, Therefore I drawxbm You know that disappointment when you don t want to accept that reality and expectation didn t match up That s what I felt with I Think Therefore I Draw That s also why it took me so long to slog through even though it wan t by any means a terrible book I also didn t have much appreciation for the authors brand of humour. I Think, Therefore I drawrect fivem The writing style was such that the book was meant to be read like a conversation with the authors which s all well and good when the there s depth to the subject matter Sadly rather than a primer to philosophy I felt like this was merely a preface and for a preface 302 pages are way too much. I Think, Therefore I Draw bookworm That being said I did enjoy the choice of cartoons to illustrate the various philosophical ideas I also found the biosketches very useful in providing an overview of the philosophers covered in this book It s sad though that I had to get to the appendix before I started to actually enjoy this book Hardcover A fun breezy read about philosophy like the author s famous Plato and a Platypus Walk Into a Bar Understanding Philosophy Through Jokes This one has cartoons instead of jokes and the cartoons were much better than the jokes. Dost thou think because thou art virtuous Also I liked the lesser known by the same author Heidegger and a Hippo Walk Through Those Pearly Gates Using Philosophy and Jokes to Explore Life Death the Afterlife and Everything in Between on death much better Hardcover It s cute it s funny it s a nice little Philosophy s Greatest Hits in a Nutshell book But it s like candy fun to eat but not much nutrition Maybe I m just an old grump.

While it may not delve too in depth into philosophy it s oddly comforting to have topics that are generally so depressing discussed in a light and humorous fashion Hardcover Philosophy always seems like a big subject to me especially when it s written in a second language However this book enables me to understand basics of philosophy with modern cartoons For each piece of cartoon there is a simple philosophical issue or question involved Author then uses his witty narration to describe what is portrayed in the cartoon followed by a right to point elaboration of the philosophical theory At the end of the book there is a collection of short biographies of various dominant philosophers in time giving you a simple crash course on philosophy I sincerely adore this book as it approaches a big topic with fun and easy to understand method Hardcover 3. I Think, Therefore I drawmaster 5Contrary to expectations this book shows a cartoon and goes on to explain the cartoon itself using philosophy and not the other way around So I didn t find it useful in a philosophical sense to actually learn and connect concepts I wanted to use the book to complement some philosophy classes I teach but was unable to because although it s a light and funny read it does require some background otherwise the jokes won t make sense to a beginner Overall good for entertainment and general knowledge did make me laugh a few times 3. EBook I Think, Therefore I drawn 5 stars Hardcover Great compilation of cartoons and the philosophical stories behind them Each one of the drawings hits you first with their comical side and afterwards it takes you into their deep waters.Loved it Hardcover Very refreshing and entertaining.Who knew Metaphilosophy was a thing Hardcover.
