Le Dernier Espadon

“To philosophize is to learn to die,” said Montaigne. But, faced with
the vertiginous immensity of philosophy, sometimes we’d rather die
than learn. In need of help? Trust Catherine Meurisse to illuminate
neon and nothingness and to air out Plato’s cave. The most famous
philosophers flow from her observant pen: Aristotle, Nietzsche,
Cioran, Rousseau, Voltaire, Hegel, Deleuze, Beauvoir, Arendt, Marx…
The cartoonist takes the opportunity to rail against the predominance
of men in the world of ideas. Handling philosophical concepts with
rigor and humor, dispelling myths, Man and Superwoman sketches
out a different way to think and be in the world.
