Hannah Arendt's Little Theater

Marion Muller-Colard, Clémence Pollet - Hannah Arendt\'s Little Theater
Hannah Arendt is not at all keen to build an edifice of ideas or to develop abstract concepts. Rather, she gets on to the stage herself! To enter the scene of her little theater means to take matters into her own hands, take responsibility, to act. In short: Thinking is acting! Whereas the bureaucrats can conceive of only one thing: to build a world out of paper (an illustrated philosophy book for children).
Plato & Co. introduces children—and curious grown-ups—to the lives and work of famous philosophers, from Descartes to Socrates, Einstein, Marx, and Wittgenstein. Each book in the series features an engaging—and often funny—story that presents basic tenets of philosophical thought alongside vibrant color illustrations. Plato & Co.'s clear approach and charming illustrations make this series the perfect addition to any little library.
Marion Muller-Colard is a theologian and specialist in Jewish studies. Having published various children's books and books for young readers, she is the author of books on theology, too.
Clémence Pollet (born 1985 in Courbevoie, France, lives and works in London) has illustrated more than ten children books gaining much critical praise and works as an illustrator for several magazines. After finishing her studies in Paris & Strasbourg, she has won an award for her first book at Montreuil children's book fair in 2009.
Translated from the French by Anna Street (original title: Le petit théâtre de Hannah Arendt, Les petits Platons, 2014).
