Review # 1 was written on 2011-02-15 00:00:00 Donald Black Jr. I've been getting a number of the Popular Culture and Philosophy books. I haven't really studied classical philosophy. I didn't take a basic Philosophy class in college. So, seeing different philosophies shown through the prism of another subject I really like has been really interesting. There's no central theme to the book. You don't get a progressive look at different philosophies over time as illustrated by BSG. What you get is a series of essays grouped broadly into different topics that examine different philosophies through BSG. The approach here is fairly in-depth and the essays are well-written and thought provoking. There were a number of times that I found myself wanting to engage in a dialog with an essayist. Sometimes to dispute a point about the show or the application of a certain philosophical point to the show. Other times, it was just wishing for more explanation or clarification of a point that was confusing or fuzzy to me. But the main point is that the essays do make you think actively about the essayist's position or thoughts. That made the book a worthwhile book to read for me.

Review # 2 was written on 2008-04-01 00:00:00 Lance Christian I'm biased because I wrote two of the essays in this book.
