Editorial Review
Brought to You by The Unemployed Philosophers GuildThe origins of the Unemployed Philosophers Guild are shrouded in mystery. Some accounts trace the Guild's birth to Athens in the latter half of the 4th century BCE. Allegedly, several lesser philosophers grew weary of the endless Socratic dialogue endemic in their trade and turned to crafting household implements and playthings. (Hence the assertions that Socrates quaffed his hemlock poison from a Guild-designed chalice, though vigorous debate surrounds the question of whether it was a "disappearing" chalice.) Others argue that the UPG dates from the High Middle Ages, when the Philosophers Guild entered the world of commerce by selling bawdy pamphlets to pilgrims facing long lines for the restroom. Business boomed until 1211 when Pope Innocent III condemned the publications. Not surprisingly, this led to increased sales, even as half our membership was burned at the stake. More recently, revisionist historians have pinpointed the birth of the Guild to the time it was still cool to live in New York City's Lower East Side. Two brothers turned their inner creativity and love of paying rent towards fulfilling the people's needs for finger puppets, warm slippers, coffee cups, and cracking up at stuff.
Features
1) Alexander Hamilton's was the kind of rags-to-riches story that made America famous! The grandson of a Scottish aristocrat! Orphaned as a child! Adopted! Adopted again! Sent to the colonies! Fought to free them! Married the daughter of a rich and wealthy landowner!
2) His was the kind of life that lent itself to exclamation points and hyperbole. Smart yet indiscrete, unfaithful (to his wife) yet faithful (to Federalism), he was one of the country's visionaries who set the course for our democratic, elitist, capitalist, egalitarian mosh pit.
3) Little Thinkers are not stuffy intellectuals - they're stuffed intellectuals. Let our Little Thinker dolls add a dollop of culture and humor to your shelves. Collect them all and surround yourself with the greatest minds - in plush form! Why collect books when you can collect the authors, and more? These dolls of famous figures, politicians, artists, theorists, scientists, and rebels make smart and clever gifts.
4) From the Unemployed Philosophers Guild. Don't worry. We are employed, just not as philosophers. UPG is a small, Brooklyn based company specializing in gifts for the sophisticated gift giver. We have presents of mind.
