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's 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 an hilarious new exploration of philosophy through cartoons - a thorough introduction to all the major debates in philosophy. Packed with humour and loaded with profound philosophical insight, this will delight and enlighten readers.
