Philosophy in Literature

by Charles W. Johnson

This study examines several traditional philosophical problems as they are presented in works of literature and cinema. Instead of reading through dry, classical discourse, the book examines the same philosophical topics in dramatic settings. Works include Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking-Glass and The Hunting of the Snark, Michelangelo Antonioni's Blow-Up, and Joseph Heller's Catch-22.
