Excellent book & fast delivery!!!! THANK YOU!!!!
I already had a copy of this book and bought another for one of my graduating high school students. He's exceptionally bright and the most comic book literate student I've ever had the pleasure to teach.The encoded reader knows the X-Men beyond the movies and can use that knowledge as a foundation for grasping various elements of philosophy, clearly presented by the authors. However, knowledge of the X-Men isn't merely a sneaky tool used to teach philosophy. On the contrary, the authors do an excellent job showing the applicability of philosophy to comic book characters and issues, which in turn have implications for our world. Readers, then, can expect to learn a bit about philosophy, to enhance their understanding and appreciation of the X-Men and other Marvel mutants, and to see the relevance and value of philosophy for gaining a broader, richer, more discursive understanding of reality. Additionally, it's an enjoyable read.
An X-cellent guide to the depths of the "X-Men" comics and films, while touching upon poignant philosophical milestones within both universes.
I am not reviewing this...I just did this to submit the rating system on here. I don't think this is ever necessary!
I bought this as a Kindle e-book. Kindle for Android is great, this book isn't. I didn't need to read more than 10 pages of this book to realize it was useless. So far it has only talked about abnormality (he refers to homosexuals grouping together as "queers with queers") and the only examples of any mutants it refers to are inaccurate and based solely off the X-Men movies. So far, all the assessments have been off-base by citing the commercialized and distorted X-men movies as fact for the Marvel Universe. I am not even going to finish this book, and I already wish I could get my money back. Lesson learned: Never buy a book because of its title.
For those of us who cannot really understand Descartes or Kant or Leibnitz or Spinoza or Hobbes or Kierkegaard, much less so connect their teachings to life in this postmodern world, this book is a bridge from the past to the future. What does one do when one knows one is a comic book character (Deadpool)? What does one do when you wake up without memory, or your genes have expressed a new part of themselves overnight (Wolverine, Beast)? This book asks these questions and more.As Socrates put it, the unexamined life is hardly worth living. Read this book and one will hardly be able to keep oneself from examining!
First of all, I would like to respond to one of the reviews below:Where that reviewer asks if the book's authors read the comic books, I would ask whether he/she read the book itself. Characters that appear exclusively in the comics (like Layla Miller) have entire chapters devoted to them, and one chapter's author even denounces the movies in favor of the comics. Not sure how he/she missed that...Anyway."X-Men and Philosophy" is a must-have for Marvel fans. It explores every nook and cranny of the X-men universe and makes dozens of superb philosophical connections -- some of them expected, like the question of "what is normal and should we want it", and some more surprising, like the discussion of whether mind-reading is ethical. Just take a look at the table of contents and you'll see the wide spectrum that is explored in the book, all of it interesting.The great thing about the book is how accessible it is. It's not just for people who are interested in philosophy, but for any smart person who has an interest in X-men. I felt that I was reading a book that explored X-Men from an intellectual point of view, including science and religion as well as straight-up philosophy. It's also incredibly engaging and personal. All or most of the chapters present concepts that apply not only to mutants but to us ordinary folk as well, and there are a lot of personalized examples that help a layperson relate to and understand what's being discussed. I felt like I was reading about myself as well as Kant and Magneto.Ultimately it's a book that reaches a great balance between scholarly philosophical discussion and colloquial easy-reading, and is interesting no matter what the reader's experience with philosophy. The writing is consistently witty and the subject matter is everything an X-Men fan could want. 5 stars!
Housel, Wisnewski, and the rest have done a bang-up job of linking philosophy and the Marvel comic book series X-Men. I found that popular culture and philosophy books are a great way to get into philosophy, which is an otherwise dense (albeit eternally interesting) subject. I learned more about the X-Men than I had previously thought possible. Not only is this book a good read, but you can learn a lot. There's lots of stuff from the comics as well as the movies, and something is brought to the table for everyone.I also really liked the rendering of Dr. Wisnewski into an X-Man, which appeared in his chapter of the book.
