Metaphors: A History of Philosophy in 24 Illustrated Concepts

Since antiquity, philosophy has sought to explain complicated concepts such as happiness, justice, freedom... For this, the greatest thinkers, from Plato to Judith Butler via Epicurus, Montaigne, Freud or Hannah Arendt, have used metaphors in order to build bridges between the abstract and the concrete.
These stylistic devices allow us to connect ideas to images and real-life experiences, making them more understandable. This way of transforming a thought into an image has left us with connections that are as beautiful as they are unexpected.

METAPHORES, illustrated by the incredible paintings of Guim Tió, traces the history of philosophy through 24 key ideas and invites us to understand the world around us and to stay awake.
