Match your wits against history’s greatest minds. In The Philosopher’s Game, Edwin Schlossberg (with John Brockman) invites you into a contest of insight, reflection, and sheer guesswork. Through 100 portraits—some true, some imaginative—of the thinkers who shaped our world, each vignette builds to a potent “Great Words”: a quote attributed to the thinker. But here’s the twist: was it really said by them or by someone else? With three possible choices per entry, you decide.
This playful journey isn’t just about right or wrong—it’s about discovery. You’ll learn a little philosophy, meet towering intellects, debate what ideas sound “philosophical,” and perhaps be surprised about who said what. Whether you’re a longtime student of ideas or simply someone who loves a good puzzle, this book turns philosophy into a game—one you’ll want to play again and again.
