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.
