Carefree thinking about the philosophical dilemmas of the popular television show - "The Big Bang Theory". Have you ever wondered what Aristotle could say about the way of life that Sheldon Cooper leads? Why would Thomas Hobbs approve the neighborhood agreement? Whom did Immanuel Kant bestow on "arrogant ridicule" for weaving "netbooks"? And - more importantly - is Wil Wheaton really the embodiment of evil? Of course, asked. Bugagashenka!
This book sinks into deep reflections on some of the greatest philosophical minds in history to answer the most interesting questions about the Big Bang Theory and geniuses-nerves, its characters. You can find other books on philosophy about science and cosmology, but only this affects the power of Darth Vader, the cloning of Leonard Nimoy, and similar to the umpa-lump engineers. And it's great!
- Gives an irresistible, geeky image of your favorite characters, storylines and archetypes of the Big Bang Theory
- Examines important issues, including morality and virtue, science, semiotics, religion and human nature
- Represents the mindset of some of the world's greatest philosophers related to the Theory of the Big Bang, from Aristotle and Plato to Nietzsche, Wittgenstein, Simone de Beauvoir and others.
Required to be read by every fan of the Big Bang Theory, this book explores the question of whether adoring comic books geeks can live a normal life and whether they have sufficient knowledge about science to finally "rip off their mask and look at the face of God."
