Mark T. Conard, assistant professor of philosophy at Marymount Manhattan College, is the editor of numerous books.
""The Philosophy of the Coen Brothers offers a very smart,
provocative, and stylishly written set of essays on the films of
the Coen brothers. The volume makes a convincing case for reading
their films within a wide array of philosophic contexts and
persuasively demonstrates that the films of the Coen brothers often
implicitly and sometimes explicitly engage with central issues in
the history of western philosophy from Plato and Aristotle to
Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Sartre, Baudrillard, and
MacIntyre." Michael Valdez Moses, author of The Novel and the
Globalization of Culture" --
""This volume is written for both fans of the Coen brothers and the
philosophically curious, without the technical language. Both
educational and entertaining, this philosophical compilation is
recommended for public and academic libraries, particularly those
with degree programs in philosophy and film."--Joshua Finnell,
Library Journal" --
