    <body><![CDATA[A nice and light hearted black and white comics that is a touch off beat. I'll be honest the graphics are more cartoon than art, the paper is pulp, and the content introductory - but still this is a real nice piece of intro via comics to a ever widening range of 'philosophers' as the series spirals ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/12262672">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Action Philosophers! is a graphic novel- you guessed it- about philosophers, but presented in a quasi &quot;action hero&quot; guise.

Apa sih konteks komentar Nietzcshe perihal Tuhan Telah Mati? Apa pula inti gagasan Freud tentang perkembangan seksual seseorang?<br/><br/>Buku ini menawarkan saripati sembilan filsuf terkemuka dari pemikiran Barat dan Timur dalam bentuk komik usil namun berbobot. Sembilan filsuf ini ialah Plato, Bodhidharma, Nietzche, Thomas Jefferson, Santo Agustinus, Ayn Rand, Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung, dan Joseph Campbell. ]]>

    <![CDATA[Apa gerangan pemikiran Plato tentang gagasan sehingga muncul istilah cinta platonik? Apa pendapat Bodhidharma, sang mahaguru kungfu, perihal kebahagiaan hidup? Apa sih konteks komentar Nietzcshe perihal Tuhan Telah Mati? Apa pula inti gagasan Freud tentang perkembangan seksual seseorang?<br/><br/>Buku ini menawarkan saripati sembilan filsuf terkemuka dari pemikiran Barat dan Timur dalam bentuk komik usil namun berbobot. Sembilan filsuf ini ialah Plato, Bodhidharma, Nietzche, Thomas Jefferson, Santo Agustinus, Ayn Rand, Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung, dan Joseph Campbell. ]]>
