Creador de , y más de un centenar de libros publicados, Rius, el gran monero mexicano, ocupó un lugar clave en la historia de la cultura popular. “Lo más difícil de tratar con humor es la filosofía. No sé por qué, quizá porque se trata sólo de ideas de pensamiento, que resulta harto difícil de manejar. Y resumir y presentar en un "lenguaje" accesible a todos. Hice primero el tomo 1 y luego, con más de 10 años de diferencia, el 2. Uno con una editorial y otro ya con Grijalbo, pero me costó un huevo del ojo.” —RIUS Philosophy (from Greek filos = love, sophia = wisdom: the love of wisdom) is nothing more than man's attempt to know his place in the universe, and to try to explain it through reason. But hang on a minute: First, we want to say something about this book... First, this is not a book for specialists, but for beginners. Secondly, although we've tried to use language that is simple and understandable by everyone, we recommend that you read this at a leisurely pace, trying to understand the meaning of every word. And thirdly, open your mind, don't get stuck on what you "already know"; accept and reason through things, even if they clash with what you already believe... (This is for those who believe in dogmas, Marxist or otherwise.) Believe it or not, philosophy can actually be a lot of fun!
