{"product_id":"why-do-things-have-names-jean-paul-mongin-9783035802757","title":"Why Do Things Have Names?","description":"Why is a horse called a horse and not a giraffe or a flapdoodle? Why did Plato go from being called Aristocles, after his grandfather, to being called Plato, which means muscleman? Where do any names come from? In this delightful book, readers young and old will explore with Plato and ponder why anything or anyone has a name at all. Do readers know where their own name comes from? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e At its most basic, philosophy is about learning how to think about the world around us. It should come as no surprise, then, that children make excellent philosophers  Naturally inquisitive, pint-size scholars need little prompting before being willing to consider life's \"big questions,\" however strange or impractical. Plato \u0026amp; Co. introduces children--and curious grown-ups--to the lives and work of famous philosophers, from Descartes to Socrates, Einstein, Plato, and Wittgenstein. Each book in the series features an engaging--and often funny--story that presents basic tenets of philosophical thought alongside vibrant color illustrations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jean Paul Mongin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3035802750\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783035802757\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Diaphanes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/22\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 42\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.97lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.30h x 7.10w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/2020","brand":"Jean Paul Mongin","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43990811705599,"sku":"9783035802757","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3dcae149-e6bd-4a9f-8cce-9e9e30745db1.jpg?v=1683306826","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/why-do-things-have-names-jean-paul-mongin-9783035802757","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
