Re: Halo and Philosophy book soon?

In Response To: Re: Halo and Philosophy book soon? (Miguel Chavez)


: Ridiculous. There's plenty of meat in Halo that a student of philosophy could
: use as a springboard to touch on some interesting metaphysical topics.
: Dare I say one could have a field day exploring allegories re: religion
: and literature in Halo as well. (duh!)

That's not what I was questioning. I was saying that this series of books presents these issues in a simplified, and often wrong way, not that Halo was unsuitable for discussion. Please re-read my post.

: Not to get a cheap dig, but I don't think you'd be able to pull it off
: because you seem to lack the ability to talk about something without
: giving away your fanatical bias.

The best philosophers were all biased toward their own opinions. How can you make serious arguments without believing you are correct? I'm biased as fuck, and that's why I could do a good job.

: The best modern works on philosophical topics I've read are engaging and
: leave you hungering for more. It'd be nice if this book can showcase a few
: works that do exactly that.

Like I said I will probably read it.
