Philosophy 101 (now up)

Just subbed this, in a slightly altered form

Philosophy 101 - Threadless, Best T-shirts Ever

-----

101 philosophical movements, one big question. The only reference you'll ever need. Maybe.

1 ink colour, all the lettering is hand drawn

sweetism! with the right color combo this would make a nice belt print tee.

BaronVonMonkey on Jun 01 '08 at 10:12am

Thanks Eric! - i'm not sure how well it'd work on a tee, but maybe...

EricDiaz on Jun 01 '08 at 12:33pm

well, this covering the front of the tee and maybe a rotated ¿ on the back but with the words the right way.. ¿Cómo estás?
Oh yea and gray on a black tee!

BaronVonMonkey on Jun 01 '08 at 1:35pm

Ooh I like that idea- whether I've got the patience to rearrange them is another matter!

shirtflirt on Jun 01 '08 at 1:36pm

the mind has the ability to continually divide, doesn't it?

nice lettering

BaronVonMonkey on Jun 01 '08 at 3:25pm

Indeed, Mr shirt, indeed

kirstenlovesdinner on Jun 01 '08 at 3:41pm

this is amazing.
I've read over it, and don't see feminism, is it there and I'm just not seeing it?

loserbeech on Jun 01 '08 at 3:45pm

Thomism = fans of Thom York?

BaronVonMonkey on Jun 01 '08 at 4:01pm

Yep, Thomism is a philosophical doctrine based around the theory of 'karma police'. Maybe.

Kirsten- actually, it's not- I was going to put it on there, but decided it was more a social/theoretical movement than a philosophical one. And it wasn't in my philosophical dictionary... But I can put in there and get rid of one of the rubbish ones nobody's heard of. Like Thomism.

BaronVonMonkey on Jun 01 '08 at 4:52pm

I just tried putting this on a tee, and it looked a bit rubbish. I think I need to unsquare it a bit

Madshadow on Jun 01 '08 at 4:57pm

I think this could look cool as a belt print, if you could do that. The color combo may need a change though, (just my opinion)

BaronVonMonkey on Jun 01 '08 at 5:12pm

I could do a belt print, though it'd lose the 101-ness, but that probably doesn't matter. But as threadless have printed like one belt print ever I'm never convinced they are the way to go

nikolina100 on Jun 01 '08 at 5:36pm

it's GOOD!!!!!

BaronVonMonkey on Jun 01 '08 at 5:58pm

Cheers DOOD!!!!!

blossompossum on Jun 01 '08 at 9:02pm

This would be a time when it's completely appropriate to quote you.

Amaaaaaaaazing.

igo2cairo on Jun 01 '08 at 11:47pm

The more I look at this, the more I love it! Would make a very cool poster.

lemonalle on Jun 01 '08 at 11:52pm

coooool

auxocrome on Jun 01 '08 at 11:53pm

I would completely buy the shit outta this on a tee. Just sayin'.

BaronVonMonkey on Jun 02 '08 at 4:24am

Thanks gang! I'll see what I can do

nezbit on Jun 02 '08 at 6:01am

I'm loving this!

nezbit on Jun 02 '08 at 6:03am

What's sophism- I'll google

BaronVonMonkey on Jun 02 '08 at 7:12am

Thanks Nezbit- Sophism was an ancient greek rhetorical-philosophical movement, though it also means a false argument. But you probably found that out from google

noodlezoop on Jun 02 '08 at 7:24am

: D haha, one of my friends used to dismiss any argument he disliked with an expansive sweep of his hand and a thunderous declaration of "Sophistry!"

I get a kick out of this. I dunno about the green, but that's taste. I really really really like the arrow with "Determinism". One thing, um, I think you misspelled "Transcendentalism", unless there's two kinds.

BaronVonMonkey on Jun 02 '08 at 7:30am

Nope, you're right, I did- hadn't noticed that! Ta. The colours will probably be a-changin

8 days later

BaronVonMonkey on Jun 10 '08 at 11:32am

Subbed

tracerbullet on Jun 10 '08 at 11:34am

awesome! i wish you had left it as green on black, though.

shirtflirt on Jun 10 '08 at 11:37am

is purple and green an option?

Coat on Jun 10 '08 at 11:38am

I don't like the color, but I feel that this shirt is a winnneeerrr!

BaronVonMonkey on Jun 10 '08 at 11:42am

Thanks!- I've put in the design description that it can work in lots of colours- I liked it green on black, but it didn't seem very popular

BaronVonMonkey on Jun 10 '08 at 11:53am

Shirtflirt:

shirtflirt on Jun 10 '08 at 12:03pm

yeah i like that one

ps

aren't most philosophies attempts at social conditioning, like feminism?

Dear Curious,

Maybe... or maybe not.... (Discuss)

Love
Baron

ISABOA on Jun 10 '08 at 12:24pm

you are a smart guy

good stuff

BaronVonMonkey on Jun 10 '08 at 12:48pm

Cheers isa

tracerbullet on Jun 10 '08 at 12:50pm

i designed a shirt awhile ago about nihilism. i still haven't gotten around to submitting it, though.

BaronVonMonkey on Jun 10 '08 at 12:52pm

hahahaha

lordog on Jun 10 '08 at 12:53pm

Ahh, I have my bachelor's in Philosophy. Love, love, love this shirt...Especially since you included solipsism.

Green on black, ftw!!!!

Malcolm Man on Jun 10 '08 at 12:55pm

SUB THAT MOTHER OF A PRINT!

BaronVonMonkey on Jun 10 '08 at 1:04pm

lordog- I was hoping there might be some philosophy grads around!

malcolm- subbed. Unless you mean tracer's awesome design, in which case, I am fully in agreement

Malcolm Man on Jun 10 '08 at 1:07pm

noice, noice, noice!

shirtflirt on Jun 10 '08 at 2:54pm

well, philosophy i think, is in it's essence a persons ideal towards living.

Madshadow on Jun 10 '08 at 3:03pm

Woah, I think when I first saw this, I completely blocked out the "Question Mark" that is made. I really like it as a print, but the purple and green is also growing on me.

BaronVonMonkey on Jun 10 '08 at 3:23pm

Thanks Madshadow- the question mark should hopefully get more obvious the further away you get

shirtflirt on Jun 10 '08 at 3:31pm

taoism?

is that a philosophy?

BaronVonMonkey on Jun 10 '08 at 3:38pm

Taoism is the philoophy of 'the way' based on the teachings of Lao-tzu, which is kinda proto-anarchistic, based around a rejection of conventional societal values, and celebrating, well, being a slacker. All good.

shirtflirt on Jun 10 '08 at 3:39pm

hahaha, i've studied taoism for years and i never really thought of it as a philosphy.

a slacker; hahahaha. you think?

BaronVonMonkey on Jun 10 '08 at 3:45pm

Don't you think? It's all about passivity, rejecting worldly pursuits. But I'm no expert

What would you describe it as? Don't you think it fits your idea of 'an ideal towards living'?

shirtflirt on Jun 10 '08 at 3:48pm

to be honest, my entire view of zen buddhism and taoism have changed slightly after reading a few books on advaita; which is see didn't make your t shirt; perhaps bc it doesn't end in an 'ism'?

it's not about passive as much as it's about abandoning the thought-generated 'self' and tuning into the coursing energy 'tao' that flows through all things from universes to cricket feet.

i think it's a practical application in terms of tai chi and keeping the body as an instrument, and mind as an instrument, clean and smoothly functioing.

yeah, i suppose it's a philosophy, sure!

tracerbullet on Jun 10 '08 at 3:49pm

i go by the important philosophy of "bros before hos"

shirtflirt on Jun 10 '08 at 3:50pm

broism?
