Overview: In Quentin Tarantino and Philosophy, seventeen professional thinkers shamelessly exploit the cinematic achievements 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 cooperation? 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 Grind house and Death Proof reflect the epoch in which everything that actually occurs is unreal?
