Action Philosophers Vo. 2

Action Philosophers! Is a comic book series by artist Ryan Dunlavey and writer Fred Van Lente, first created for a comic book newspaper "Prophecy,” which was never published. Following this, the creative team won the Xeric Grant in late 2004. The comic homepage states, “Action Philosophers is the award-winning, critically praised comic book series detailing the lives and thoughts of history's A-list brain trust in a hip and humorous way that proves that philosophy is not just the province of boring tweed-enveloped college professors. It gives a new twist to a subject that we all use in our everyday lives. Action Philosophers Volume 2 presents Rene Descartes and his Discourse of The Method; he attempts to arrive at a fundamental set of principles that one can know as true without any doubt. Which leads to the famous quote, “I think, therefore I am” or more aptly, “I doubt, therefore I think, therefore I am.” It is a very funny, educational, and new way to look at philosophy. You can read the comic book Action Philosophers Vol. 2 and others at their website, and buy them. Enjoy!
