Why does Lewis Carroll introduce us to such oddities as blue caterpillars who smoke hookahs, cats whose grins remain after their heads have faded away, and a White Queen who lives backwards and remembers forwards? Is it all just nonsense? Was Carroll under the influence? This book probes the deeper underlying meaning in the Alice books, and reveals a world rich with philosophical life lessons. Tapping into some of the greatest philosophical minds that ever lived Aristotle, Hume, Hobbes, and Nietzsche - Alice in Wonderland and Philosophy explores life's ultimate questions through the eyes of perhaps the most endearing heroine in all of literature."--BOOK JACKET.=600  10$aCarroll, Lewis, $d1832-1898. $tAlice's adventures in Wonderland.=650  #0$aLiterature $xPhilosophy.=650  #0$aPhilosophy in literature.=700  1#$aDavis, Richard Brian, $d1963-=830  #0$aBlackwell philosophy and popculture series.=LDR  03522cam a2200349 a 4500
