Some philosophy showing up in my comic feeds this week.
The term Axial Age is new to me. It comes from a German philosopher, Karl Jaspers, and refers to the 8th to 3rd centuries B.C. For more, see Wikipedia. I note that some major religious thinkers (Moses, Jesus, Mohammed, Joel Osteen) are outside this period. I wonder if Zach’s comic was inspired by some trivial argument with his HOA board.
In that column on the left, there is a Suggest-a-CIDU form. If you see something that particularly puzzles you, let us help by sending it in.
Comics I Don't Understand 
Joel Osteen?!
Joel Osteen’s hair defies explanation, even from the smartest and wisest philosophers.
I laughed at the Joel Osteen reference, but historically speaking, “Moses” comes from this period, too, given that the laws credited to him (if such a person ever actually existed) were likely written down and edited in the years during and after the 586 BCE Babylonian exile.
And she specifically mentions Jesus as coming centuries later with a slightly different philosophy (panel 5).
