Can one lone pre-Socratic in a canoe teach you everything you failed to learn about philosophy in college? Of course (though how can you be certain that you actually exist, etc.)! In the entertaining, erudite Cartoon Introduction to Philosophy, the game Heraclitus travels down the winding river of philosophical thought to lead us through a pocket history of examined living. Comics have helped make complex subjects accessible for years, of course, including in the work of the pioneering explainer Larry Gonick, whose three-volume (so far!) Cartoon History of the Universe remains the gold standard of the form. But Michael Patton and Kevin Cannon’s guide to philosophical thought is a creative addition to the cartoon academy, offering readers well-written, engaging mini-portraits of influential thinkers from Plato to John Stuart Mill to Zombie David Chalmers.
