description: Imagine Plato as a wrestling superstar of ancient Greece Nietzsche as the original ubermensch and Bohidharma as the grand master of kung fu. These are not just great thinkers they also make great comics. Action Philosophers details the lives and thoughts of history's A-list brain trust in hip and humorous comic book fashion. All nine issues of the award-winning best-selling comic book series have been collected into a single volume making this a comprehensive cartoon history of ideas from pre-Socratics to Jacques Derrida including four new stories. You'll never have more fun getting the real scoop on the big ideas that have made the world the mess we live in today!  Tom Morris (Author of Philosophy for Dummies If Aristotle Ran General Motors and If Harry Potter Ran General Electric).
