The Blackwell Philosophy and Pop Culture
Series:
A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down, and a healthy
helping of popular culture clears the cobwebs from Kant. Philosophy has
had a public relations problem for a few centuries now. This series
aims to change that, showing that philosophy is relevant to your
life -- and not just for answering the big questions like "To be or not
to
be?" but for answering the little questions: "To watch or not to watch House?"
Thinking
deeply
about
TV,
movies,
and
music
doesn't
make
you
a
"complete idiot." In fact it might make you a philosopher, someone who
believes the unexamined life is not worth living and the unexamined
cartoon is not worth watching.
