Rationalism Shorts
Description: "Where does knowledge come from: the senses or reason? A wax tablet stamped from outside and a radiant mind with forms already inside put two centuries of debate into one clean, symmetrical design. The great debate of modern philosophy as a diptych: Locke and Hume's tabula rasa, a blank tablet receiving impressions from experience, versus Descartes and Leibniz's innate ideas, a mind already holding geometric forms. For philosophy, psychology and education students, teachers, cognitive scientists and anyone who has argued nature versus nurture. A smart gift for curious minds and lifelong learners.

Description: "Show me ANY religious claim supported by ANY evidence that stands up to ANY scrutiny. I'll wait." Great for snarky Atheists, curmudgeonly skeptics, or the people who insist that science is a religion while their own religion is actually no such thing but rather a "relationship".
Description: "The most famous sentence in modern philosophy, drawn as an argument you can see. Three steps of radical doubt crumble away and the certainty of one's own existence stands firm, in a bold, minimalist layout. Descartes' cogito as a staircase of doubt: the senses, the dream and the evil demon dissolve into dotted outlines, while one solid block remains: I think, therefore I am. Doubt everything except the doubter. For philosophy students and teachers, Descartes readers, skeptics, scientists and anyone building on solid foundations. A classic gift for graduation, exams or a birthday.

Description: "Every fact has an explanation, but what explains everything? A spiral of linked points winds toward a central question mark, turning one of the deepest questions in philosophy into a hypnotic emblem. Leibniz's principle of sufficient reason from the Monadology: nothing happens without a reason. A spiral chain of causes leads back to a single question: why is there something rather than nothing? For metaphysics fans, philosophy students and teachers, physicists and cosmologists, and anyone who never stops asking why. A deep gift for curious minds.
Description: "At the end of the Theodicy, Leibniz imagines a palace of possible worlds shaped like a pyramid, with ours at the summit. This design rebuilds that image with rows of small globes and one golden world above them. Leibniz's best of all possible worlds from the Theodicy: a pyramid of possible worlds, with the single actual world crowned at the top. Infinitely many possible, one actual. Why this one? For metaphysics and theology students, readers of Leibniz and Voltaire's Candide, modal logicians, physicists who ponder the multiverse and optimists of every kind. A thoughtful, witty gift.
Description: The Flying Spaghetti Monster FSM is the Lord and savior of all the true followers of Pastafarianism. This design can be suitable for atheists, agnostics and non religious free-thinkers. Pastafarianism is a parody religion however a legally registered religion in the United States. If you love bashing organised religions and their evils, you will love this design suitable for skeptics, humanists and anti-religious person.
