Curiouser and Curiouser
Series Editor: William Irwin
Editor: Richard Brian Davis - my review
Description from publisher's site:
Should the Cheshire Cat’s grin make us reconsider the nature of reality?
Can Humpty Dumpty make words mean whatever he says they mean?
Can drugs take us down the rabbit hole?
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 blue caterpillars who smoke hookahs, cats whose grins remain after their heads have faded away, and a White Queen who lives backwards and remembers forwards?
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.

What an interesting series of books! I've been captivated by philosphy ever since I first read Plato while taking a Humanities course in high school.
ReplyDeleteNow, while most of the titles sound great, since we love the 'Office' at my house, I'd really enjoy Office and Philosophy (might have to actually BUY that one!) ... unless they had a 'Zombieland & Philosphy' that I happened to miss hehe
Thanks for another terrific giveaway - u Rock! :D
Talk about a lazy typist - can't believe I misspelled 'philosophy TWICE ... :p my bad
ReplyDeleteEither True Blood, Lost, or Twilight. They all look great!
