Downton Abbey and Philosophy: The Truth Is Neither Here Nor There by Mark D. White, William Irwin
katelizray14's review
2.0
While there are (a few) new and interesting insights produced in this book, motly it felt like reading papers for an undergraduate philosphy class. (Alright class, using one of the philosphers and philosphies studied, apply those ideas to an episode or character from Downton Abbey.). No single essay is long enough to provide detailed philosophical analysis, and none of the essays look at examples that might argue against their points. While the authors' do give an outline (very brief, very simplistic) of each philosphers' ideas in the essay, oftentimes they are too simplistic to fl.y explain the theories. Read this because you want to relive your favorite moments from the show, not for a primer ob philosophy.
