{"product_id":"quentin-tarantino-and-philosophy-richard-greene-9780812696349","title":"Quentin Tarantino and Philosophy: How to Philosophize with a Pair of Pliers and a Blowtorch","description":"The films of Quentin Tarantino are ripe for philosophical speculation, raising compelling questions about justice and ethics, violence and aggression, the nature of causality, and the flow of time. In this witty collection of articles, no subject is too taboo for the writers to tackle. From an aesthetic meditation on the use of spraying blood in \u003ci\u003eKill Bill\u003c\/i\u003e to the conundrum of translation and reference in Vincent and Jules' discussion about French Big Macs in \u003ci\u003ePulp Fiction, \u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eTarantino and Philosophy\u003c\/i\u003e shies away from nothing. Is The Bride a heroic figure, even though she's motivated solely by revenge? How is Tarantino able to create a coherent story when he jumps between past, future, and present? The philosophers in this book take on those questions and more in essays as provocative as the films themselves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Greene\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0812696344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780812696349\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Open Court\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/28\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.89h x 6.04w x 0.47d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2009 pg. 257","brand":"Richard Greene","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43988284997887,"sku":"9780812696349","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d1a3bef0-8bd9-4d3d-ab78-87c2fd3d0a29.jpg?v=1683293667","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/quentin-tarantino-and-philosophy-richard-greene-9780812696349","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
