It's TheHumanist.com's popular comic series, The Cartoon History of Humanism, now in book form!
With extra bonus comics, The Cartoon History of Humanism follows the adventures of Dave, who carelessly made fun of a logical positivist when he was a child. As punishment, the logical positivist cursed Dave to wander time and space to converse with humanist philosophers until he learned his lesson.
On his journey, Dave meets an array of famous skeptics, atheists, writers and thinkers who have all influenced humanist philosophy. Readers will no doubt recognize familiar figures such as David Hume, Baruch Spinoza, John Stuart Mill and Leonardo DaVinci. But they may also be surprised to find that Mark Twain, Karl Marx, Mary Ann Evans (pen name George Eliot) and King Ashoka all influenced humanist thought as well. Additionally, audiences can learn more about humanist thinkers such as Arabic philosopher Ibn Rushd, Italian Renaissance leader Isabella d'Esta and Nineteenth Century novelist Fanny Lewald, among numerous others.
Through Dave's humorous time-traveling adventures, DeBakcsy weaves the compelling history of humanist ethics and the brave individuals who defied the religious authorities of their time periods to advance rationality and freethought. The Cartoon History of Humanism is an excellent read for anyone who's looking for an accessible and fun book to acquaint them with humanism, and it will also be a delight to committed humanists who are seeking a fresh and engaging perspective on their familiar philosophical views.
