In "Homeland and Philosophy," 23 philosophers tackle the issues
that Showtime's award-winning show "Homeland" asks us to consider.
The drama, which centers on Marine Sergeant Nicholas Brody's
release from an al-Qaeda prison, and CIA Agent Carrie Mathison's
distrust of his intentions, asks questions of identity, what it
means to be a terrorist, the conditions and effects of
brainwashing, lying for the greater good, and whether or not
courage is a virtue.
But these questions are only a few among many that are explored in
the obscure, paranoid world of "Homeland." Through the lenses of
Rawls, Kant, Arendt, Foucault, Heidegger, Sartre, and Kierkegaard,
among others, "Homeland and Philosophy" considers the ethics of
drone warfare; whether or not Carrie Mathison's personality changes
and psychological disorder make her an interesting character study
in the metaphysics of personhood; at what point privacy is only an
illusion; and concepts of torture, punishment, and discipline.
