Pop Culture Philosophy to Release "The Legend of Zelda and Philosophy" in November
Aug. 13
Dirty secret: I'm a lapsed philosophy major. This means I was already quite fond of the Popular Culture and Philosophy series, where essay collections that examine how a particular pop culture phenom deals with certain philosophical concepts. November 28th, the first video game property joins the series when The Legend of Zelda and Philosophy gets its own essay collection .
With both young and adult gamers as loyal fans, The Legend of Zelda is one of the most beloved video game series ever created. The contributors to this volume consider the following questions and more: What is the nature of the gamers connection to Link? ... How is space created and distributed in Hyrule? How does time function? Can Hyrule be seen as an ideal society? ... The Legend of Zelda and Philosophy not only appeals to Zelda fans and philosophers but also puts video games on the philosophical map as a serious area of study.
