Thousands upon thousands of books have been written about Immanuel
Kant since his death. None, let's be clear, have been quite like
what we have here. In Party Fun with Kant, Nicolas Mahler tells the
story of Kant--and his fellow serious-minded figures from the
history of philosophy--with a comic edge. With his witty visual
style and clever wordplay, he delves into their lives and emerges
with hitherto unknown scenes that show them in a new (and far less
serious) light. We go to parties with Kant, visit an art exhibition
with Hegel, shop at the supermarket with Nietzsche, and go to the
cinema with Deleuze, and celebrate the dream wedding with de
Beauvoir. In each case, we come away knowing more about the life,
thoughts, and feelings of the philosopher--getting to know them as
people rather than as stony-faced figures long since robbed of any
existence beyond their ideas. The result is pure fun, but with
plenty of insight, too.
