The Great History of Western Philosophy

The Great History of Western Philosophy

A cosmic stop-motion animator is hired to make a philosophical film under the gaze of Chairman Mao. Like everything in this film, this should not be taken seriously. We are warned: “Don’t attempt to reason with this film. It’s raving mad.” Dadaists, moviejuicers, deranged avant-gardists, this is for you.
