There are a number of volumes in the series Popular Culture and Philosophy (from Open Court<\/a> \u2013 take a look at some of the forthcoming titles!) and the Blackwell<\/a> Philosophy and Pop Culture series from which I\u2019ll 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:<\/p>\n

The Undead and Philosophy: Chicken Soup for the Soulless<\/em><\/a>\"\"<\/em>

<\/em>
Star Trek and Philosophy: The Wrath of Kant<\/em><\/a>\"\"<\/em>

<\/em>
Terminator and Philosophy: I\u2019ll Be Back, Therefore I Am<\/em><\/a>\"\"<\/em>

<\/em>
Batman and Philosophy: The Dark Knight of the Soul<\/em><\/a>\"\"<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Do you have a favorite book subtitle?<\/p>\n
