Philosophy the Gathering


A wise man once said, "The unexamined life is not worth living." A wiser man once said, "Well, I hate [girls], and I love playing Magic, so that worked out well for me!"

Here at Philosophy the Gathering, our purpose--our telos, if you will--is to combine those two sentiments.

Thus, we present Philosophy: The Gathering's first few publicly released cards.

NOTE: This is a blatant copyright infringement of Magic: The Gathering, which is run by Wizards of the Coast. However, since we don't plan to sell this product or otherwise make any money from it, and since so much of our money has enriched the coffers of that great gaming corporation, we really hope we don't get sued.

So without further ado, we present:



We hope that these first few cards inspire those philosophers (and those gatherers!) out there to hit us with some feedback. We're working on more cards as we speak, and the eventual goal is to create a full 248 card set, which would help teach the history of philosophy. Check backsoon to see the 3-card combo that inspired the set!

  1. Love the quotes at the bottom. Maybe posting higher-res would make them a bit easier to read. If you are looking to make these printable, I would suggest sizing them to 200 DPI at least, good balance between print quality and resolution of images. You could get away with like 500kb a card and still leave em printable.
