Philosophical Reflections on Black Mirror (Hardcover): Dan Shaw, Kingsley Marshall, James Rocha Philosophical Reflections on Black Mirror (Hardcover)
Dan Shaw, Kingsley Marshall, James Rocha
R3,207 Discovery Miles 32 070 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Black Mirror is a cultural phenomenon. It is a creative and sometimes shocking examination of modern society and the improbable consequences of technological progress. The episodes - typically set in an alternative present, or the near future - usually have a dark and satirical twist that provokes intense question both of the self and society at large. These kind of philosophical provocations are at the very heart of the show. Philosophical reflections on Black Mirror draws upon thinkers such as Friedrich Nietzsche, Pierre Hadot and Michel Foucault to uncover how Black Mirror acts as 'philosophical television' questioning human morality and humanity's vulnerability when faced with the inexorable advance of technology.

The Ethics of Hooking Up - Casual Sex and Moral Philosophy on Campus (Paperback): James Rocha The Ethics of Hooking Up - Casual Sex and Moral Philosophy on Campus (Paperback)
James Rocha
R1,301 Discovery Miles 13 010 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

The Ethics of Hooking Up: Casual Sex and Moral Philosophy on Campus provides a systematic moral analysis of hooking up, or sexual activity between people who barely know each other, frequently while intoxicated, and with little or no verbal interaction. It explores the moral quandaries resulting from this potent combination of sex, alcohol, near-anonymity, and limited communication, focusing in particular on issues involving consent and respect. After delineating common practices involving casual sex on college campuses and exploring the difficulty of reaching mutual consent, author James Rocha argues that respect, kindness, sensitivity, and honest communication are also necessary conditions for morally permissible casual sex. Key Features Provides a rare, systematic examination of the ethics of the hook up practice, which is the dominant mating practice for young people today. Analyzes the moral concepts of consent and respect in the context of hooking up, which provides significant moral challenges that highlight how we should obtain consent and show respect to one another. Argues for a moral paradigm shift in how young people hook up, emphasizing ways to avoid unintentionally committing grave moral wrongs. Situates the philosophy of casual sex in real life hook up practice, enabling us to rethink overly abstracted moral views on casual sex.

Joss Whedon, Anarchist? - A Unified Theory of the Films and Television Series (Paperback): James Rocha, Mona Rocha Joss Whedon, Anarchist? - A Unified Theory of the Films and Television Series (Paperback)
James Rocha, Mona Rocha; Edited by Sherry Ginn
R711 Discovery Miles 7 110 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Joss Whedon has created plethora of TV series, movies, comics and one sing-along-blog, all of which focus on societal problems in the metaphorical guise of monsters-of-the-week and over-arching big-bads. We examine structural violence through interdimensional law firm Wolfram & Hart's legal representation of evil. We explore the limits of consent through the Rossum Corporation's coercion and manipulation. We rehearse the struggle to find meaningful freedom from the crew of Serenity. This study traces a theme of anarchist theory through the multiple strings of the Whedonverse-all of his works show how ordinary heroes can unite for the love of humanity to save the world from hierarchy and paternalism.
