philosophical minds that ever lived-Aristotle  Hume  Hobbes  and Nietzsche-Alice in Wonderland

endearing heroine in all of literature. * Looks at compelling issues such as perception and
reality as well as how logic fares in a world of lunacy  the Mad Hatter  clocks  and temporal
passage * Offers new insights into favorite Alice in Wonderland characters and scenes 
including the Mad Hatter and his tea party  the violent Queen of Hearts  and the grinning
Cheshire Cat Accessible and entertaining  Alice in Wonderland and Philosophy will enrich your
