Opis

At its most basic, philosophy is about learning how to think about the world around us. It should come as no surprise, then, that children make excellent philosophers Plato & Co. introduces children--and curious grown-ups--to the lives and work of famous philosophers, from Socrates to Descartes, Einstein, Marx, and Wittgenstein. Each book in the series features an engaging--and often funny--story that presents basic tenets of philosophical thought alongside vibrant color illustrations.

In Hannah Arendt's Little Theater, the philosopher Hannah Arendt is about to finish her last book, but she is sure something is missing. As she puzzles over her words, she is visited by a friend from the past--none other than her nine-year-old self Reluctantly, she accepts young Hannah's helping hand, joining the small blue-cardiganed girl on an adventure through the streets of New York City to a tiny theater where they watch a frightening play about a town terrorized by an evil wolf and his pack of puppets. But, even in the blackest moments, when evil seems sure to prevail, it is always possible to turn things around. Could the same be said of the "theater" of the real world, in which real people come together to create change?

Plato & Co.'s clear approach and charming illustrations make this series the perfect addition to any little library.

O autorze

Marion Muller-Colard hasst Entscheidungen. Deswegen heißt sie Muller und Colard. Deswegen schreibt sie für Kinder und für Erwachsene. Theaterstücke und Bücher. Romane und philosophische Erzählungen. Philosophische Erzählungen, bei denen sie nicht zwischen denken und schreiben wählen muss. Clémence Pollet verlebte ihre Kindheit in Belgien und studierte in Paris und Strasbourg. Heute lebt sie in London, wo sie zeichnet, malt, collagiert und radiert. Vielleicht ist die nächste Station New York, wo sie im Gedenken an Hannah Arendt das Bard College aufsuchen will.
