Engaging, smart, and wise, Mini-Philosophy is a diverse taster menu of ideas on life, the mind, and the world.


Nutritious, bite-sized portions of philosophy that whet the appetite for more, Mini-Philosophy is a fascinating journey into what some of the greatest minds of the last 2500 years have to say about the big questions in life, and why they are relevant to us today.


Covering everything from Sun Tzu's strategy for winning at board games to Freud's insights into our death drive; why De Beauvoir believed the mothering instinct is a myth to why Schopenhauer probably wasn't much fun at parties, these mini meditations will expand your mind (and bend it too).
