The Man in the High Castle and Philosophy: Subversive Reports from Another Reality - Paperback

by Bruce Krajewski (Editor), Joshua Heter (Editor)

In The Man in the High Castle and Philosophy, twenty-two
professional thinkers look at philosophical issues raised by this
ongoing enterprise in "alternative history." One question is whether it
really made a profound difference that the Allies won the war, and
exactly what differences in everyday life we may expect to arise from an
apparent historical turning point. Could it be that some dramatic
historical events have only superficial consequences, while some
unnoticed occurrences lead to catastrophic results?

Another topic is the quest for truth in a world of government misinformation, and how dissenting organizations can make headway.

Does not contain the novel.
