This alienly illustrated and designed atlas of philosophical questions is structured around fourteen thematic maps that invite us to explore our humanity through aspects such as identity, gender, knowledge, human relationships and relationships with other earthlings, the environment, the chain of command and the distribution of wealth on our plant, mathematics, language, art and the meaning of life.
What is it like to be human? And what is it like to be you? What is gender for? How do you know what you know? Does planet Earth make a good home? How do you human beings get along? Who names the world on planet Earth? And is 2+2 always 4 on Earth?
But bipobians do not live by philosophy alone. They also share with us questions of very different sorts: some of them practical, others, cheeky, destabilising or amusing and all of them thought-provoking.
Is There Anybody Out There? is a book full of questions to be enjoyed at any age, alone or in company, and one to return to again and again.
