Synopsis: 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.
