No doubt the years hunting monsters and saving the universe have had their toll on the Winchesters, but their toughest and most gruesome battles are contained in this book. Think Lucifer was diabolically clever? Think again. No son is more wayward than the one who squanders his intellect and academic career pursuing questions as poignant as “Half-awesome? That’s full-on good, right?” Gathered here for the first time since the formation of Purgatory, a collection of research so arcane and horrific that it would make even the late, great Bobby Singer blush.

Supernatural and Philosophy tackles all the big ideas in the long-running hit show Supernatural, covering thorny issues in a fun and accessible way. Even those unfamiliar with the show will find fascinating insights into Heaven, Hell, Angels, Demons, God, and Lucifer.
  • A unique collection of insights into the many philosophical, religious, and paranormal topics in the hit TV show, Supernatural
  • Accessible treatment of thorny issues for a general audience
  • Written by philosophical fans of the show, for philosophical fans of the show
  • Those unfamiliar with the show will still find fascinating insights into Heaven, Hell, Angels, Demons, God, Lucifer, and Good and Evil
  • Contributors tackle issues ranging from the biological classifications of monsters, to the epistemological problems of ghost hunting

Arvustused

Saying that, what is covered should be enough here for the Supernatural fan to think about. Dont get spooked.  (SFCrowsnest.org.uk, 1 December 2013)

All in all, through reading this book, I realized philosophical and religious examinations are a lot more fun when theyre done side by side with the adventures of Sam and Dean Winchester rather than traditional sources.  The correlations make for a very good read. It will certainly change the way we fans see episodes both past and future.  Thanks to pop culture, philosophy just isnt for scholars anymore.  (The Winchester Family Business, 22 October 2013)
