This collection of 18 chapters by talented philosophical minds
probes some of the many lessons to be learned from Orange Is the
New Black. The show and the book that inspired it both dramatically
highlight the troubling, stressful situation of millions of
incarcerated Americans. How do the show's shower scenes shed light
on the classical mind-body problem? How can we make our lives
meaningful when our options are curtailed by authority? What does
it mean to manipulate someone, and why is it bad? What can we learn
about human beliefs from Pennsatucky's notion of the gay agenda? Is
Litchfield Prison a preparation for life outside -- or just a scale
model of life outside? What could the governors of Litchfield learn
from Jeremy Bentham and his panopticon? How is it that even in
prison we find ourselves condemned to be free? Why is one of the
worst things about prison being forced to see who and what we
really are? It so happens that life in prison is overfull of
philosophical implications. Orange Is the New Black and Philosophy
stays close to the characters and scenes of the TV show, applying
insights from ethics, existentialism, metaphysics, epistemology,
and political philosophy.
