The essential companion to Stieg Larsson's bestselling trilogy
and director David Fincher's 2011 film adaptation
Stieg Larsson's bestselling Millennium Trilogy--The Girl
with the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played with Fire, and
The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest--is an
international phenomenon. These books express Larsson's lifelong
war against injustice, his ethical beliefs, and his deep concern
for women's rights. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and
Philosophy probes the compelling philosophical issues behind
the entire trilogy. What philosophies do Lisbeth Salander and Kant
have in common? To catch a criminal, can Lisbeth and Mikael be
criminals themselves? Can revenge be ethical? Drawing on some of
history's greatest philosophical minds, this book gives fresh
insights into Larsson's ingeniously plotted tale of crime and
corruption.
* Looks at compelling philosophical issues such as a feminist
reading of Lisbeth Salander, Aristotelian arguments for why we love
revenge, how Kant can explain why so many women sleep with Mikael
Blomkvist, and many more
* Includes a chapter from a colleague of Larsson's--who
worked with him in anti-Nazi activities--that explores
Larsson's philosophical views on skepticism and quotes from
never-before-seen correspondence with Larsson
* Offers new insights into the novels' key characters, including
Lisbeth Salander and Mikael Blomkvist, and investigates the author,
Stieg Larsson
As engrossing as the quest to free Lisbeth Salander from her
past, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and Philosophy is
ideal reading for anyone interested in unraveling the subtext and
exploring the greater issues at work in the story.
