Have you always wondered what famous philosopher’s would have to say about modern relationships? Find out from this smart, witty, illustrated guide to love, relationships, and philosophy.
About Love Voltaire Us Apart:
“One day soon you will meet a man, and he will rise like a phoenix from the ashes, and it is my greatest hope that he will not give you syphilis.” Friedrich Nietzsche
What would Kant’s sexts look like? How would Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir break up? What would Confucius think of Tinder?
Comedy writer Julia Edelman’s New Yorker article ‘Excerpts from Philosophers Breakup Letters’ was a viral hit in 2015. From that same font of wisdom comes a hilarious spoof relationship guide with a philosophical edge.
Including essential information in chapters like “Getting (Meta)physical” and “5 Ways To Know Your Man is Writing a Manifesto” – which gives the advice you need to avoid losing a relationship to revolution – Love Voltaire Us Apart is funny, smart, refreshingly original, and brought to life with charming illustrations from Hallie Bateman.
