Hello and welcome to the Philosophy Shop. We have a beautiful gallery of
famous portraits and fine art prints with profound quotes from many of the
greatest minds of human history - making it simple and easy to find artful
intelligent gifts for friends and family (and yourself of course!).
We have purchased a variety of things (posters, journals, calendars, caps,
t-shirts, buttons, coffee mugs, etc.) and can confirm their high quality.
But most importantly, the daily experience of seeing these portraits and
words of wisdom is a cheerful reminder of the more noble and beautiful aspects
of our human nature & creativity.
So stand out from the crowd (and get some interesting comments!) with our
cool collection of clothing, prints and apparel!
Hope you enjoy browsing around. Cheers,
Karene

Death of Socrates
Quote on Truth
The Ancient Greek Philosopher, Socrates, was famously (and tragically) condemned to death for 'corrupting the youth'. His crime was in fact, for educating people to truth and philosophy and pointing out their ignorance.
Below is the famous painting, The Death of Socrates, by Jacques Louis David (1787) which captures this scene.
"Wars, factions, and fighting," said Socrates as he looked forward from his last hour, "have no other origin than this same body and its lusts. ... We must set the soul free from it; we must behold things as they are. And having thus got rid of the foolishness of the body, we shall be pure and hold converse with the pure, and shall in our own selves have complete knowledge of the Incorruptible which is, I take it, no other than the very truth." (Socrates)

ABOUT
CAFEPRESS: Cafepress are a print on demand online shop. As of November
2009 there are over 6 million members (shopkeepers who create their own
shops & products) and 40 million products! The website is in the top
1000 websites on the internet and gets around one million visitors each

produced goods, however, you have the advantage of purchasing unique custom

for our philosophy shop). Cafepress ships products world wide (we live in
Australia and have bought numerous items without any problems) and they
have a thirty day full refund so it is a safe place to purchase some pretty
cool gifts / presents (for yourself or others!).

ABOUT
YOUR SHOP KEEPER: KARENE
HOWIE
My partner (philosopher Geoff Haselhurst) and I are building a large
philosophy website which is the source (and inspiration) for most of
the Philosophy images and quotes in this shop.
Below are some of our favourite philosophers / quotes and links to relevant
pages of our website. Philosophy (which is ultimately about Wisdom from
Truth and Reality) is important to our world (all proceeds from this
shop are used to promote our work on Philosophy).
Thus we also hope that you find our philosophy website interesting!
Cheers, Karene. (August, 2010)
