Just to give an idea of last month’s pick, readers can visit a review here that notes:
The book has a good Introduction to Rowlands’ ideas and methods, then has nine formal chapters, dealing with specific themes:
1) Frankenstein: the meaning of life (actually Kenneth Branagh’s Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein). 2) The Matrix trilogy: the certitude of ontology. 3) The Terminator 1 and 2: the mind/body problem. 4) Total Recall and The Sixth Day: identity and reality. 5) Minority Report: free will as illusion. 6) Hollow Man: the will to morality. 7) Independence Day and the Alien series: the limits of morality. 8) Star Wars: the concepts of good and evil. 9) Blade Runner: death as the key to life.
