Editorial Review Product Description Philosophers Explore The Matrix includes an introduction that surveys the use of philosophical ideas in the film. Topics that the contributors tackle include: how a collaborative dream could differ from hallucination, the difference between the Matrix and the "real" world; why living in the Matrix would be considered "bad"; the similarities between the Matrix and Plato's Cave; the moral status of artificially created beings, whether one can behave immorally in illusory circumstances, and the true nature of free will and responsibility. This volume also includes an appendix of classic philosophical writing on these issues by Plato, Berkeley, Descartes, Putnam, and Nozick. Philosophers Explore The Matrix will fascinate any fan of the films who wants to delve deeper into their themes, as well as any student of philosophy who desires an accessible entry into this challenging and profoundly vital world of ideas.

Informative Guide to Popular Culture from a Christian Perspective
Great Resource for Understanding Post-Modern Pop Culture and Christianity
Matrix of Meaning
Not just looking, but FINDING God in Pop Culture The postmodern shift happening in contemporary culture is addressed at the beginning of this text.In postmodernity, the ancient serves as the foundation for the present.And due to globalization, borders are blurred, which creates a global village that enables the everyday individual to have access to new ideas, interaction with new perspectives, and expansion into new values.As such, a consciousness of pluralisms is expressed in society, in everyday relationships, and, more specific to the aims of A Matrix of Meanings, in theologizing. Consequently, recognizing the importance of engaging pop culture on its own terms in an ongoing relationship, Detweiler and Taylor have responded by creating a rather ingenious matrix to aid in making and discovering meaning and theological significance.Included are various artistic forms (TV, movies, music, fashion, art, and sports), a study of the marketplace (driven by consumerism, fueled by advertising, attained by celebrity), and ten trends that invite serious, theological reflection, which sum up postmodernity as being post-national, post-rational, post-literal, post-scientific/technological, post-sexual, post-racial, post-human, post-traumatic/therapeutic, post-ethical/institutional, post-Christian.Basically, assumptions and understandings across many fronts need to be shifted in light of the current cultural climate. Great book!Excellent matrix!Sound guidance for engaging pop culture, increasing one's awareness and relationships, and doing serious theologizing!
Flipping the Script What Detweiler and Taylor have done here is what Detweiler calls "reversing the hermeneutical flow" (a.k.a. "flip the script", to quote "8 Mile").In other words, rather than taking the Bible and looking at (a.k.a. criticizing) Pop Culture through what we think the Bible says, they take a thorough look at pop culture and use than as a method of viewing - or at least presenting - the God of the Bible.For any who have a hard time with that, read on. As one reviewer has already stated, from the outset this book states that it's primarily for people that already like Pop Culture and have wondered how to reconcile that with their Christian worldview.Furthermore, the authors ask tough questions of the Church.If the majority of the world connects with Pop Culture way better than they do with the Church, then why is that and what are we to do about it?Sorry, but the "they're fallen beings" excuse isn't gonna cut it anymore.Detweiler and Taylor take us beyond the "seeker-sensitive" approach and genuinely challenge the Church to engage Pop Culture in a respectful, dynamic way.Even in the profane, God is talking and it's time we recognized holy ground when we saw it.It's a different and (I think) more accurate version of things than we typically hear from the evangelical pulpit.God is talking through culture with or without the Church's approval! For those who have "reservations" about whether Christians should be as comfortable with culture as the book suggests, I offer this thought.The Bible was not written in a cultural vacuum, nor was Jesus born into one.Inspired?Sure.Absolutely devoid of any cultural influence?I think not.Read John 1 to those who haven't grown up in the church (or even those who have) and most would have a blank expression on their face because it was written to appeal to those influenced by the contemporary hot worldview: Stoicism.Parables were the movies of the day.There are four different Gospels in order to present Jesus slightly diffently to four different cultures.Paul understood culture enough to address it in Athens at the tribute to the "unknown god" (note that he didn't try to disprove their other gods before making the connection for them).These guys presented God (and, I would argue, understood God) through the lens of their culture.Why are we so affronted by others suggesting we do the same? "There's nothing new under the sun", and God is still looking for those who will help meet Pop Culture where it's at and make those connections.This book does it in a whole different sort of way.Rather than giving easy examples ("this movie means this") that you can use in your next Bible study, they attempt to form a worldview that takes in all of culture and finds where God is working ("teach a man to fish", etc).Bottom line: most of us still need to have our "scipt flipped".For me, this book, and the thought behind it, was the best place to do that. ...

Trimmed down from THE ART OF THE MATRIX
AN EXCELLENT REFERENCE GUIDE The Forward is written by none other than Willaim Gibson [how's that for a seal of approval].He says that 'Keanu's Neo is my favourite-ever science fiction hero, absolutely!'.You can't ask for anything more. I also love the commentary by Phil Oosterhouse, who was Assistant Director on the movie.He gives wonderful insights into little nuances of the scenes and the commitment of the actors and directors to produce the very best movie they could. The book also has stills from the movie in cool black and white.It's a book any true Matrix fan should be without. Enjoy! ... Read more |

Dive into the magical world of water: a strange and fantastic substance
Perfect condition.
A good accurate science book
Fascinating, but error prone --Joel M. Kauffman 20 May 04
Thorough, interesting and multifaceted Probably the most important messages in the book, however, are those regarding conservation and utilization of water resources.Certainly the information about the disparity of water availability and quality between the western and 3rd world countries, between urban and rural use, and between countries and states that have competing interests in a particular watershed were very enlightening.It was surprising to learn that part of the problems of the Middle East revolve around water availability and use.These issues certainly provide previews to future problems that will almost certainly arise globally in the not too distant future! A very thorough, interesting and multifaceted book. ... Read more |
