Through Common Things is a philosophical exploration of both
western and eastern popular culture. Barkman achieves what is rare:
to preserve the integrity of the popular culture in question -
while at the same time looking at it from a variety of angles.
Readers will gain a deeper appreciation of the subject matter and
encounter insights that can lead to personal awareness and growth.
. . "Barkman presents us with an amazingly wide-ranging collection
of philosophical reflections grounded in the everyday things of
popular culture - past and present, eastern and western, factual
and fictional. ... This is an informative and entertaining book to
read " . . - Doug Blomberg, Professor of Philosophy, Institute for
Christian Studies " Expansive in scope, Barkman's analysis
traverses eastern and western culture, canvassing an array of
philosophical topics, using the language of the hoi polloi and
icons of popular culture to direct our gaze first to and then
through the flickering images of Plato's cave to deeper realities
and questions that matter. Well argued, intriguing, engaging;
highly recommended " . . - David Baggett, Associate Professor of
Philosophy, Liberty University "Effortlessly bridging the gap
between 'high' and 'low' culture, Through Common Things, thanks to
its jargon-free, lucid language, is eminently readable and, what is
more, worth reading." . . - Dieter Petzold, Professor of English
Literature, University of Erlangen-Nuremberg "This book is unique
and brilliant. . . . Barkman plays the cracker-barrel world
philosopher who draws the common people in conversation from pop
culture to philosophy." . . - Jung Soon Park, Professor of
Philosophy, Yonsei University +.+.+.+.+ ADAM BARKMAN (Ph.D., Free
University of Amsterdam) is Assistant Professor of Philosophy at
Redeemer University College in Ontario. He is the author of C. S.
Lewis and Philosophy as a Way of Life and co-editor of Manga and
Philosophy.
