Описание: In "Peanuts and Philosophy," twenty philosophers, from a diverse range of perspectives, look at different aspects of the "Peanuts" canon.
How can the thoughts of children, who have yet to become grown-up, help us to become more grown up ourselves? Do we get good results from believing in something like the Great Pumpkin, even though we re disappointed every time? What can Linus s reactions to the leukemia of his friend Janice tell us about the stages of grief? Why don t we settle what s right and what s wrong by the simple method of asking Lucy? Is true happiness attainable without a warm puppy? Do some people s kites have a natural affinity for trees? Is Sally an anarchist, a nihilist, or just a contrarian? Does Linus s reliance on his blanket help him or hurt him? Is Charlie Brown s philosophy of life pathetic or inspirational?
Other topics include: how the way children think carries general lessons about transcending our limitations; the Utopian quest as illustrated by Charlie s devotion to the Little Red-Haired Girl; Snoopy s Red Baron and history as selective memory; the Head Beagle as Big Brother. And, as we would expect, Lucy s repeated cruel removal of Charlie's football has several philosophical applications.

Описание: Mr. Robot has been hailed, not only as one of the most haunting and unnerving dramas ever to appear on television, but also as the first accurate popular presentation of how computer hacking and cyberterrorism actually work. Mr. Robot and Philosophy is aimed at thoughtful fans of this addictive show who will welcome the opportunity to explore Elliot Alderson's world from a philosophical perspective.
The developing story of Mr. Robot constantly raises ethical and metaphysical issues. What happens to our personal identity when it's extended into cyberspace and an array of electronic devices? Are we in control of our online lives or are we being controlled? What does our right to privacy mean in a world where millions of people can observe what we're doing and saying? Is a virtual currency true money and could it replace traditional money? Can there be healthy forms of drug addiction? Can some types of so-called mental illness be useful and beneficial?
Does it make any sense to unleash destruction upon the existing corporate economic structures, and can we expect something better to emerge from the ruins of a digital meltdown?
