The “Book of Opposites” explores in word and image contrasting philosophical ideas and their important role in shaping the way we think.
Good and Evil, Beautiful and Ugly, Same and Different, Rich and Poor – like a negative space, created by a positive image, these ideas contradict and complement each other to create a Unity of Opposites.
Through short texts the “Book of Opposites” presents to young readers these fascinating ideas and questions. Through thought-provoking images it invites them to grasp these concepts with their mind’s eye. Together they make for a meaningful journey in the never-ending search for wisdom and truth.
