The Subway Philosopher website offers many vehicles to explore difficult questions such as the meaning of life, perception versus reality, and what it means to embody a beneficial existence. Offering quotes to live by, surreal imagery, and philosophical essays, the website is a vehicle for illuminating underutilized areas of the mind by shining light on what really matters.
The site also is a place for building a community of artists and thinkers who can showcase their work, an alternative to overly commercialized museums and institutions.
Born beneath the streets of New York, The Subway Philosopher [An Illustrated Novel] draws abstract ideas from the subconscious mind and combines them with concrete ideology to help raise awareness.
Like the network of underground tunnels moving passengers to their destinations, our neural pathways transport images and ideas from the deepest recesses of our minds to the surface. The Subway Philosopher brings some of these ideas to life through art and rhetoric designed to find meaning in an otherwise enigmatic existence.
I invite you to join a community of people devoted to art, philosophy, and the examined life. Join in our online discussions and feel free to get in touch.
