There are a number of volumes in the series Popular Culture and Philosophy (from Open Court – take a look at some of the forthcoming titles!) and the Blackwell Philosophy and Pop Culture series from which I’ll be using chapters as readings this semester. But the thing I love most about both these series is the subtitles of the books, many of which are brilliant and hilarious. Here are a few examples:
The Undead and Philosophy: Chicken Soup for the Soulless
Star Trek and Philosophy: The Wrath of Kant
Terminator and Philosophy: I’ll Be Back, Therefore I Am
Batman and Philosophy: The Dark Knight of the Soul
Do you have a favorite book subtitle?
