Is Democracy overrated? Does power corrupt? Or do corrupt people
seek power? Do corporate puppet masters pull politicians strings?
Why does Frank talk to the camera? Can politics deliver on the
promise of justice? House of Cards depicts our worst fears about
politics today. Love him or loathe him, Frank Underwood has charted
an inimitable course through Washington politics. He and his
cohorts depict the darkest dealings within the gleaming halls of
our most revered political institutions. These 24 original essays
examine key philosophical issues behind the critically-acclaimed
series questions of truth, justice, equality, opportunity, and
privilege. The amoral machinations of Underwood, the ultimate
anti-hero, serve as an ideal backdrop for a discussion of the
political theories of philosophers as diverse as Plato, Aristotle,
Nietzsche, Machiavelli, Hobbes, and Marx. From political and
corporate ethics, race relations, and ruthless paragmatism to mass
media collusion and sexual politics, these essays tackle a range of
issues important not only to the series but to our understanding of
society today.
