The Philosophy of TV Noir

The Philosophy of Popular Culture

he books published in the Philosophy of Popular Culture series will

illuminate and explore philosophical themes and ideas that occur

in popular culture. he goal of this series is to demonstrate how

philosophical inquiry has been reinvigorated by increased scholarly

interest in the intersection of popular culture and philosophy, as well as to

explore through philosophical analysis beloved modes of entertainment,

such as movies, TV shows, and music. Philosophical concepts will be

made accessible to the general reader through examples in popular

culture. his series seeks to publish both established and emerging

scholars who will engage a major area of popular culture for philosophical

interpretation and examine the philosophical underpinnings of its

themes. Eschewing ephemeral trends of philosophical and cultural

theory, authors will establish and elaborate on connections between

traditional philosophical ideas from important thinkers and the ever-

expanding world of popular culture.
