A visual tour of Western philosophy

Michael F. Patton and illustrator Kevin Cannon use a comics format to introduce major thinkers across nearly three millennia of Western philosophy. The journey is guided by Heraclitus and organized around debates that range from ethics and personal identity to the nature of reality. Its broad historical sweep gives the book room to connect philosophical figures with enduring questions, while the illustrated presentation frames the material as an accessible introduction rather than a specialist survey.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adults seeking an introductory overview of Western philosophical thinkers and debates.
  • Readers interested in philosophy presented through comics and illustration.
  • Those exploring questions about ethics, identity, and reality.

The most entertaining and engaging philosophy class you'll ever take!

In The Cartoon Introduction to Philosophy, Michael F. Patton and Kevin Cannon introduce us to the grand tradition of examined living. With the wisecracking Heraclitus as our guide, we travel down the winding river of philosophy, meeting influential thinkers from nearly three millennia of Western thought and witnessing great debates over everything from ethics to the concept of the self to the nature of reality.

Combining Cannon's playful artistry and Patton's humorous, instructive prose, The Cartoon Introduction to Philosophy puts the fun back into the quest for fundamental truths, imparting a love of wisdom to anyone willing to grab a paddle and join the ride.
