Inspired by philosophers and their respective theories, the books' design takes a minimalistic approach in showing the visual representations of different theories.
Plato's Theory of Forms
"According to Plato, for any conceivable thing or property, there is a corresponding form, a perfect example of that thing or property. " - David Macintosh (2012)
Kant's Theory of Perception
"Perception is a process of the consciousness of an object. The objects that are seen in the world are considered by the common man to be existing outside his body and the senses, and he feels that the objects are reflected, as it were, in his mind in perception. The object itself does not enter the eye, for example, in the act of seeing, but there is a transmission of vibration from the object, with which his consciousness comes in contact, which becomes a content of his consciousness, and on account of which he is said to know the existence of the external object." - Swami Krishnananda
Descartes' Theory of Reductionism
"Reductionism is an approach to understanding the nature of complex things by reducing them to the interactions of their parts, or to simpler or more fundamental things. It can also be described as the philosophical position that a complex system is nothing but the sum of its parts and that an account of it can be reduced to accounts of individual constituents." - Philosophy Basics
