Adapting famous animal fables, the Filonimal Collection aims to introduce young readers to the great names of philosophy. Because you’re never too young to start thinking. But also never too old, so adult readers are also welcome!

The Filonimal Collection, created by Alice Brière-Haquet has the aim of introducing young readers to the world of philosophy through animal metaphors. This approach draws on a long tradition dating back to Ancient times, where animals were used as symbols to discuss human nature and ideas, from Aesop’s fables to modern children’s literature.

The collection offers young readers a unique opportunity to explore complex philosophical concepts in an accessible and engaging way.

FILONIMAL 1 – Schopenhauer’s Porcupine
