Uncover the Unexpected Connection Between a Curious Girl and a Mysterious Philosopher

The word philosophy means the love of wisdom. Wisdom, however, cannot be achieved without knowledge, and the goal of this story is to provide knowledge that leads to wisdom, knowledge taken from philosophy, science, religion and art. The Girl and the Philosopher is intended for young women interested acquiring knowledge from the thinkers discussed in the story. The story is not a pacifier. There is political folly, war, rape, cancer, and death. The story is serious business because life is serious business.

However, the greatest threat to the life-world is masculine aggression, especially in the form of war.
