Describe a philosopher. University professor, turtleneck, tweed, jacket with pads… a weakling. In the stories of the ancient world, philosophers were people who did something. They were warriors, gladiators, and emperors of nations so unimaginably powerful all because of the strength of their minds.

Arav Kumar and Hyder Jafri have set out to revitalize philosophy for the modern age to bring deep thought back to society.
