Man and Superwoman

Summary

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.
