Aprašymas

?Bond. James Bond.OCO Since Sean Connery first uttered that iconic phrase in "Dr. No, " more than one quarter of the worldOCOs population has seen a 007 film. Witty and urbane, Bond seduces and kills with equal ease ? often, it seems, with equal enthusiasm. This enthusiasm, coupled with his freedom to do what is forbidden to everyone else, evokes fascinating philosophical questions. Here, 15 witty, thought-provoking essays discuss hidden issues in BondOCOs world, from his carnal pleasures to his license to kill. Among the lively topics explored are BondOCOs relation to existentialism, including his graduation ?beyond good and evilOCO; his objectification of women; the paradox of breaking the law in order to ultimately uphold it like any ?stupid policemanOCO; the personality of 007 in terms of PlatoOCOs moral psychology; and the Hegelian quest for recognition evinced by Bond villains. A reference guide to all the Bond movies rounds out the bookOCOs many pleasures."
