Learn to search for the truth that’s out there in essays about what “may be the most philosophically challenging series in the history of television” (Paul A. Cantor, author of Gilligan Unbound: Pop Culture in the Age of Globalization).
In The Philosophy of The X-Files, Dean A. Kowalski has gathered a remarkable cast of contributors to shed light on the philosophical mysteries of the television show The X-Files. With sections devoted to the show’s credos—“The truth is out there,” “Trust no one,” and “I want to believe” —as well as individual characters and specific episodes, The Philosophy of The X-Files illuminates the philosophical assumptions and presuppositions of the show and provides a lively, accessible way to better understand philosophy and philosophical inquiry—while exploring topics ranging from alienation to determinism to democracy.
