In Downton Abbey and Philosophy, twenty-two professional thinkers
uncover the deeper significance of this hugely popular TV saga.
Millions of viewers throughout the world have been enthralled by
this enactment of a vanished world of decorum and propriety,
because it presents us with emotional and interpersonal problems
that remain urgent for people in the twenty-first century. Why do
we attach such importance to our memories and to particular places?
What do war and epidemics tell us about life in peacetime and in
good health? Is it healthy or harmful for people to feel that they
know their place? What does Downton Abbey teach us about the
changes in women's roles since 1912? Do good manners always agree
with good morals? How can everybody know what no one will talk
about? What's the justification for a class of people who pride
themselves on not having a job? Should we sometimes just accept the
reality of social barriers to love, and abandon the pursuit? What
happens when community reinforces oppression? All of these and many
other issues are discussed through a detailed examination of the
actual characters and situations in Downton Abbey.
