Batman and Your Enemies

I enjoy studying about philosophy and about super heroes, and so I bought an appropriate book. It’s Batman and Philosophy: The Dark Knight of the Soul, part of Blackwell’s “Philosophy and Pop Culture Series.” ((Ed. Mark D. White and Robert Arp (Hoboken: John Wiley & Sons, 2008).)) It explains how one can understand various aspects […]

Movie Night: Holiday

Contrary to what might seem obvious, many people get the blues around Christmastime not because they are listening to weak, pop-star Christmas albums instead of Ray Charles’ The Spirit of Christmas. ((http://www.amazon.com/Spirit-Christmas-Ray-Charles/dp/B002D3I1TO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1386507700&sr=8-1&keywords=ray+charles+spirit+of+christmas.))

High Noon (1952) is a pleasure to […]

Movie Night: Mildred Pierce

From time to time, I recommend movies that teach valuable lessons for Christians to consider. Mildred Pierce (1945, Warner Bros.) is worth watching if only to see Joan Crawford at her best. It’s an engaging drama that begins with a shooting and then covers the significant events that led to the murder. The story is […]

Movie Night: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory

German philosopher Immanuel Kant rightly observed that a human being cannot learn to practice perfect justice during this lifetime (Jesus is the exception, of course). ((“The Dialectic of Pure Reason in Defining the Summum Bonum,” The Critique of Practical Reason.)) For example, Christians may understand the logical structure of the Golden Rule (Matthew 7:12) and […]
