Pico Della Mirandola Illustrated

This illustrated book is particularly useful for students and researchers who prefer snippets, images, and keywords to assimilate key concepts on abstruse topics. Some will notice how Pico theories read more like a self-help book rather than philosophy. 

FROM THE AUTHOR

For years, any subject that smelled philosophy, was intoxicated to me. It didn't seem to have any practical application in life, and getting a degree was a sure ticket to the unemployment office, unless you wanted to become a professor. My mother was a journalist with a few degrees; the house was flooded with books (and chinaware), and wasn't offended by my comments. Philosophy per se, could be scaring to some, and seems to come to a dead end today, but it's a science that fosters lateral thinking, and helps a great deal in arguments, politics, law (court cases), and anything that requires reasoning. Most philosophers were polymaths. Simply, when you get hooked, self-help books become almost useless, because the great thinkers of the last two thousand years worked hard to make things less complicated when someone is trying to eat you alive.
