Description
The Wondrous (and Dangerous) Beginnings of Modern Philosophy is a graphic narrative that tells the story of the seventeenth-century thinkers who challenged authority and laid the foundations of modern thought. With masterful storytelling and color illustrations, this book brings to life the ideas, lives, and times of these contentious philosophers. From Galileo's defense of Copernicanism to Spinoza's shocking Theological-Political Treatise, Heretics! recounts key moments in the history of modern philosophy, including the burning of Giordano Bruno for heresy and Descartes's famous cogito ergo sum. Crisscrossing Europe, the narrative describes their meetings and clashes with each other as well as their confrontations with religious and royal authority. This book offers a unique introduction to the birth of modern thought in comics form, presenting a vivid new way of understanding the ideas that fundamentally changed the way we look at the world, society, and ourselves.
