Description
In Disney and Philosophy, essays from thirty-two deep-thinking Disneyphiles chart a course through the philosophical world of Disney, tapping into the minds of the great sages of the ages—Plato, Aristotle, Confucius, Descartes, and Goofy—to explore universal questions of freedom, personal identity, morality, family, and friendship:
- Can Sleeping Beauty know that she’s not dreaming?
- Does turning our emotions and memories “inside out” tell us who we are?
- What can Toy Story and Wall-E teach us about being human?
- Is hakuna matata really such a problem-free philosophy?
If you’ve ever asked who you are, what is right, or what your purpose is, Disney and Philosophy will spark your curiosity and imagination with a whole new world of unexpected insight into the Magic Kingdom.
