Is Alice a feminist icon?
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland has fascinated children
and adults alike for generations. Why does Lewis Carroll introduce us
to such oddities as a blue caterpillar who smokes a hookah, a cat whose
grin remains after its head has faded away, and a White Queen who lives
backward and remembers forward? Is it all just nonsense? Was Carroll
under the influence? This book probes the deeper underlying meaning in
the Alice books and reveals a world rich with philosophical life
lessons. Tapping into some of the greatest philosophical minds that
ever lived -- Aristotle, Hume, Hobbes, and Nietzsche -- Alice in
Wonderland and Philosophy explores life's ultimate questions
through the eyes of perhaps the most endearing heroine in all of
literature.
