Jim Henson's creations have inspired generations with characters
that are among the world's most recognizable cultural icons. From
Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy and their Muppet friends to the
legendary Sesame Street and Children's Television Workshop, Henson
revolutionized children's educational entertainment. Combining live
action and puppeteering into fantastical narratives like The Dark
Crystal and Labyrinth, as well as the whimsical Fraggle Rock and
The Storyteller, Henson transformed imagination into reality,
weaving together powerful philosophical messages on identity,
community, diversity, love, death, and friendship. Henson never
shied away from exploring deep questions, nor did he underestimate
the ability of children (or adults) to grapple with profound
philosophical questions. Jim Henson and Philosophy explores the
entertaining and educational world of the genius's creations,
revealing what it is about Henson's world that has touched us so
deeply and improved our lives in such meaningful ways.
