In Quentin Tarantino and Philosophy, seventeen professional thinkers
shamelessly exploit the cinematic achievement of Tarantino for all the
steamy, sensational metaphysics and epistemology they can wring out
of it.

Are these eruptions of intelligent thought merely a cynical hypnotic
manipulation of our cerebral cortexes? Or can we somehow relate them
to the human values that really matter.pyrotechnic car chases, Mexican
standoffs, and exploding heads?

Is the philosophers' preoccupation with quoting other philosophers
nothing more than incestuous indulgence? Or are they somehow conveying
a deeper point about the enduring validity of amputated ears and anal
rape?

In the final analysis only you, the viewer, can decide.

* What can Reservoir Dogs teach us about the evolution of co-operation?
* Is Beatrix's revenge in Kill Bill both justified and self-destructive?
* Can we agree completely on what has happened and disagree on whether
it was a miracle?
* How is Pulp Fiction's Vincent doomed because of his messy bathroom habits?
* Does Grindhouse/Death Proof reflect the epoch in which everything that
actually occurs is unreal?
