The perfect companion to Lewis Carroll's classic book and Tim Burton's film, Alice in Wonderland, has captivated children and adults for many generations. Why does Lewis Carroll introduce such strange figures as the blue caterpillars smoking hookahs, the cats whose smiles remain after their heads have disappeared, and the White Queen who lives upside down and remembers forwards? Is all this simply nonsense? Was Carroll under the influence? This book explores the deeper hidden meaning in the Alice books and reveals a world rich in philosophical lessons. Examining some of the greatest philosophers of all time - Aristotle, Hume, Hobbes, and Nietzsche - Alice in Wonderland and Philosophy investigates the ultimate questions of life through the eyes of literature's most beloved heroine. It thrillingly analyzes issues such as perception and reality, as well as how logic holds its ground in a world of absurdity, the Mad Hatter, and the flow of time. It offers new perspectives on beloved characters and scenes from Alice in Wonderland, including the Mad Hatter and his tea, the violent Queen of Hearts, and the serene Cheshire cat. Accessible and entertaining, Alice in Wonderland and Philosophy will enrich your experience of Alice's timeless adventures with new meaning and fun.
