Morally speaking, who is the worst person on \u003ci\u003eThe Sopranos?\u003c\/i\u003e Is watching the show harmful to one's moral health? And what if Tony had read Sun Tzu instead of Machiavelli? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis collection of essays by philosophers who are also fans does a deep probe of the Sopranos, analyzing the adventures -- and personalities -- of Tony, Carmela, Livia, and the rest of television's most irresistible Mafia family for their metaphysical, epistemological, value theory, Eastern philosophical, and contemporary postmodern possibilities.
