Pro Philosopher 2: Governments & Grievances

Pro Philosopher 2: Governments & Grievances is the long-awaited follow up to the Flash hit Socrates Jones: Pro Philosopher , once again challenging the player in a series of interactive debates with brilliant thinkers from across history. Master logical moves to untangle argument puzzles, find internal contradictions, and cause your opponents to freak out!

Shifting the focus from moral philosophy to political philosophy, Pro Philosopher 2 presents a new story and new philosophers, with plenty of overblown comedy and drama .

Ariadne Jones has no time for distractions: not the party downstairs or the debates on TV, and definitely not the weird philosophical afterlife she gets pulled into every time she sleeps. But when her estranged mother arrives in that very realm, she's forced to tackle all the questions she's been avoiding. Questions like: what is the ideal government? Oh, and IS MY MOM DEAD?!

Pro Philosopher 2 frames its gameplay with a personal story, delivering a juicy mix of political machinations and family drama— brought to life by a cast of over a dozen colorful characters. Whether you are dealing with your party hardy college roommate or Anime Karl Marx, each cast member has their own motivations, expressive art and animations, and more than a few quirks.

You don't have to have played the first game to enjoy Pro Philosopher 2... but hey, the first game is free. As is the first chapter in our demo!

Pro Philosopher 2 challenges you to find weaknesses in a wide variety of increasingly complex arguments, but you will not be unprepared! Use specialized questioning tools, based on real reasoning techniques, to cut through ideas with precision:

Press for Clarification : What does that actually mean? Make vagaries less vague and complicated ideas more accessible.

Ask for Backing : That's a nice assertion you have there, Senator, what's your ? Reveal unstated assumptions behind seemingly simple statements.

Request Connections : How does this connect to everything else you are saying? Bridge logical gaps and banish distracting tangents!

Challenge! Turn your opponent's own ideas back on them by hitting them with their own core premises! Or, you know, just tell them that they smell bad. Who knows. Maybe it will work out for you?
