Lost and Philosophy: The Island Has Its Reasons

"Editor Sharon Kaye and a team of authors have penned a thinking person’s guide to exploring the philosophical territories mined in the hit television series “Lost.” A book for those who know television doesn’t have to be a wasteland of throw-away ideas; “Lost and Philosophy” takes you deep into the island’s philosophical jungle."
-Tory Brecht, The Dispatch/Argus

"Imagine a setting on your television for 'Philosophical Analysis', right next to 'Subtitles'. Lost and Philosophy is such a setting, one that works from inside your own head. Life, let alone television, will never be the same again. Switch it on."
-Dr. Deborah Brown, The University of Queensland

“Let's face it: We're all lost in the cosmos, dropped at birth into the ongoing mysteries of our remote planetary island where each of us is challenged to make the best of this odd situation we share with our companions. Lost and Philosophy shows how one remarkable television series illuminates the human condition and poses some of the deepest questions we all need to answer. Reading this excellent book will help you peel back the layers of the show, and your life.”

-Tom Morris, Bestselling author of If Aristotle Ran General Motors,
If Harry Potter Ran General Electric, and Philosophy for Dummies

"The concepts are well-defined and presented…You don't have to be a philosophy major to understand…takes the experience of the show and makes it 'one louder.'"
