What can Star Trek teach us about the true nature of reality?
Introducing Philosophy Through Pop Culture uses engaging examples from popular media to teach readers about a wide range of philosophical concepts, from the fundamentals of metaphysics and epistemology to complex ideas about ethics, faith, and the meaning of life. Easy-to-read essays drawn from the bestselling Blackwell Philosophy and Pop Culture Series make the work of thinkers including Socrates, Aristotle, Descartes, Nietzsche, and Kierkegaard approachable, relevant, and exciting.
This expanded second edition addresses important topics such as race, gender, personal identity, social justice, and environmental ethics. Brand-new essays explore how The Good Place, Game of Thrones, Black Panther, Star Wars, The Avengers, South Park, The Lego Movie, The Big Bang Theory, and other films and television shows relate to skepticism, existentialist ethics, social contract theory, utilitarianism, and more.
Supported by a new website with links to primary philosophical texts and information about the popular culture discussed, Introducing Philosophy Through Pop Culture, Second Edition remains an excellent supplementary textbook for introductory philosophy courses and a valuable resource for general readers wanting to learn about philosophy and its connections with pop culture.
