Description:
The perfect companion to Lewis Carroll's classic book and director

Alice?s Adventures in Wonderland has fascinated children

whose grins remain after their heads have faded away, and a White
Queen who lives backwards and remembers forwards? Is it all just
nonsense? Was Carroll under the influence? This book probes the
deeper underlying meaning in the Alice books, and reveals a world
rich with philosophical life lessons. Tapping into some of the
greatest philosophical minds that ever lived?Aristotle, Hume,
Hobbes, and Nietzsche?Alice in Wonderland and Philosophy explores
life?s ultimate questions through the eyes of perhaps the most
endearing heroine in all of literature.


Looks at compelling issues such as perception and reality as
well as how logic fares in a world of lunacy, the Mad Hatter,
clocks, and temporal passage

characters and scenes, including the Mad Hatter and his tea party,
the violent Queen of Hearts, and the grinning Cheshire Cat



Accessible and entertaining, Alice in Wonderland and
Philosophy will enrich your experience of Alice's timeless
