PHIL 332 Popular Culture and Philosophy

This course examines the intersection of popular culture phenomena, e.g., television shows, films, etc., and philosophy. Specifically, we will look at these phenomena both as a vehicle for exploring traditional philosophical themes and ideas, and also as philosophically interesting texts in their own right, i.e., as texts which either contain philosophically relevant ideas and/or as texts which are in some sense themselves worthy of philosophical analysis. This course may be repeated up to 9 credits.
