Reviews
"The value in this approach, of course, is that these essays are simple; they are incredibly short (each runs about five pages), and they are clear and accessible." ( Journal of the Fantastic in the Arts , 1 February 2015) "Gregory Bassham and Eric Bronson's anthology of essays, 'The Hobbit and Philosophy', may have an overblown title, but the authors do a good job of focusing on themes like possessiveness, providence and free will, courage and decision-making." ( The Times Literary Supplement, 21 December 2012)

Synopsis
J.R.R. Tolkiens The Hobbit is one of the best-loved myths of all time, and Middle Earth provides the setting for a wealth of philosophical conundrums. Discovering their inner Took, leading philosophers provide spellbinding observations into this magical tale, debating: are adventures potentially life-changing events or simply "nasty, disturbing, uncomfortable things ? Should friends be dutiful to one another? Is it right to show mercy even to those who deserve to die? From Elronds Last Homely House, to Gollums "slimy island of rock," the book covers: New insights into Bilbo Baggins, Gandalf, Gollum, and Thorin and their exploits, from the Shire to the Lonely Mountain Key questions, including: was the Arkenstone really Bilbos to give? How should Smaugs treasure have been distributed? Did Thorin leave his "beautiful golden harp" at Bag-End when he headed out into the Wild? (If so, how much could we get for that on eBay?) The wisdom of some of the worlds deepest thinkers, from Confucius, Plato, and Aristotle to Immanuel Kant, William Blake, and Thomas Nagel Pondering big hairy feet and riddles and rings, this is a must read for longtime Tolkien fans as well as those discovering Bilbo Baggins and his adventures "there and back again" for the first time., A philosophical exploration of J.R.R.

- 0***1 (1569)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufThis book arrived within the time period given and was in the 'very good' condition described. Unfortunately, only being packaged in a plastic bag to traverse the Atlantic meant that all four corners got a battering (I would be happy to pay bit more in future for a bit of cardboard support in packaging) but all in all, the price was good and overall service for books that are difficult to get over here, I am very happy with this purchase and would recommend this seller. Will buy again from them.
