The New York Times have praised Dave Chappelle as "an American folk
hero" for his ability to communicate across lines of race, class,
and culture at a time when Americans are more polarized than they
have ever been. Dave Chappelle and Philosophy brings together
twenty-five chapters by philosophers of diverse backgrounds and
varying points of view, looking closely at the hilarious, annoying,
exhilarating, upsetting, and thought-provoking aspects of
Chappelle's wonderfully rich output. This volume of the Series
serves as an invitation to think about some of the most urgent
moral and political questions of our time.
For generations the elements of humor, poignancy, fantasy, and
unfettered morality found within acclaimed children s author Roald
Dahl s most famous tales have captivated both children and adults.
Classics like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, James and the
Giant Peach, Fantastic Mr. Fox, Matilda, and The BFG may initially
appear to be yarns spun for the amusement of the adolescent mind,
however, upon digging deeper one uncovers a treasure trove of
philosophical richness that is anything but childish, but in fact
reveals the true existential weight, and multi-layered meaning of
some of our favorite children s stories. Editor Jacob M. Held has
collected the insights of today s leading philosophers into the
significances, messages, and greater truths at which Dahl s
rhythmic writing winks, revealing a whole new way to appreciate the
creation of a man and mind to which readers of all ages are still
drawn."
