The Ultimate Walking Dead and Philosophy: Universul Walking Dead
Editat de Wayne Yuenen Limba Engleză Paperback – 11 ian 2016
În The Walking Dead, oamenii sunt împinși la limite de către o devastatoare apocalipsă zombie. Bun sau rău, libertate și sclavie atunci când o viață este sacrificată în dauna alteia. Chiar și natura religioasă - cele mai importante întrebări despre existența umană sunt văzute din punctul de vedere ale unei lumi vechi, trecute care se risipește lasând loc unei noi societăți cu noi crezuri și legi.
The Ultimate Walking Dead and Philosophy aduce laolaltă doisprezece filosofi cu perspective diferite în lumea imaginată prezentă în benzile desenate și în serialul TV.
Cum ne putem păstra umanitatea când suntem puși în fața unor alegeri de viață și de moarte? Sinuciderea doctorului Jenner a fost un lucru corect în condițiile în care toate speranța părea pierdută? Va apela Guvernatorul la crimă pentru a-și păstra puterea politică? Ce putem învăța despre realitate din halucinațiile lui Rick Grimes?

Descriere scurtă
In The Walking Dead, human beings are pushed to their limits by a zombie apocalypse and have to decide what really matters. Good and evil, freedom and slavery, when one life has to be sacrificed for another, even the nature of religion—all the ultimate questions of human existence are posed afresh as the old society crumbles away and a new form of society emerges, with new beliefs and new rules.
The Ultimate Walking Dead and Philosophy brings together twenty philosophers with different perspectives on the imagined world of this addictive TV show. How can we keep our humanity when faced with such extreme life-or-death choices? Did Dr. Jenner do the right thing in committing suicide, when all hope seemed to be lost? Does the Governor, as the new Machiavelli, prove that willingness to repeatedly commit murder is the best technique for getting and keeping political power? Why do most characters place such importance on keeping particular individuals alive, especially children? What can we learn about reality from Rick’s haunting hallucinations?
