Neatly organized, "Mr. Monk and Philosophy" uses philosophy to
uncover more about the brilliant obsessive-compulsive detective
Adrian Monk. With the guidance of history's greatest thinkers,
readers learn who Monk really is, why he is the way he is, and what
they can learn from him. Chapters address such topics as Mr. Monk's
unique use of logic, how everyone uses their own phobias and
idiosyncrasies to navigate a threatening world, and what Monk says
about what it means to be a hero (albeit a flawed one). Monk's
relationships receive special attention: his dedication to his late
wife, Trudy, teaches us about romantic partnership, while his
relationships with Sharona and Natalie reveal the importance of
friendship in dealing with illness, death, and tragedy.
