Description

HOUSE AND PHILOSOPHYIs being nice overrated? Are we really just selfish, base animals crawling across Earth in a meaningless existence? Would reading less and watching more television be good for you?Is House a master of Eastern philosophy or just plain rude?Dr. Gregory House is arguably the most complex and challenging antihero in the history of television, but is there more to this self-important genius than gray matter and ego? This book takes a deeper look at House to reveal the philosophical underpinnings of this popular medical drama and its cane-waving curmudgeon’s most outrageous behavior. What emerges is a remarkable character who is part Sherlock Holmes, part Socratic philosopher, part Nietzschean superman, part Taoist rhetorician, and not at all as screwed up as you might think. With everything from Aristotle to Zen, House and Philosophy takes an engaging look at everyone’s favorite misanthropic genius and his team at Princeton-Plainsboro Hospital.To learn more about the Blackwell Philosophy and Pop Culture series,visit www.andphilosophy.com

I CANT READ ENOUGH BOOKS ON HOUSE MD OR HUGH LAURIE THEY ATRE ALL DIFFERANT BUT WITH THE SAME SUBSTANCE. I LOVE THIS SHOW ITS THE GREATEST SHOW I HAVE SEEN IN MY LIFE YES I AM ADDICYED AND WATCH ALL THJE MARATHONS I LOOK FORWARD TO THE MARATHON ONCE A MONTH ON SLEUTH 107 6AM SUNDAY MORNING TO 6 AM MON EASTERN TIME. I LEARN MORE AND MORE ABOUT THE SHOW AND HUGH AND OTHER ACTORS AND I KEEP MLEARNING NEW THIONGS. I LEARN ABOUT THE MAKING OF IT HOW DEDICATED HUGH LAURIE IS AND THE OTHER ACTORS I AM SAD I REaD THAT LISA E WILL NOT BE IN SEASON 8 AND THSAT SEASON 8 WILL BE THE LAST SEASON I PRAY ITS NOT TRUED MY HEART WILL BREAK EVEN THOUGH I OWN EVERY DVD SEASON I JUST HATE WHEN THINGS I LOVE ENDS I WAS H\OPING THEY WILL BEAT FRIENDS WHO HAD 10 SEASONS. BUT I OWN ALOT OF BOOKS ON THIS SHOW AND HUGH I HAVE SOME THAT IS YET TO BE READ.IT IS ONE OF THE MOST EDUCATIONAL TV SHOWS BEING I AM DISAB LED I RELATE ALOT TO HOUSE AND HIS NEED FOR VICODEN PLUS I RELATE TO ALOT OF THE DIAGNOSIS THEY DISCUSS.I DO NOT THINK HOUSE IS A BASTARD I THINK HE IS A VERY ECCENTRIC MAN AND THAT HE IS HIGHLY INTUNED WITH PEOPLE AND PAIN DISEASE BECAUSE OF HIS OWN. MY FAV EPISODE IS SEASON 6 THE DOWN LOW AND ALOT OF OTHERS. THEY WILL REMAIN AN ICON THROUGHOUT HOLLYWOOD YEARS. BEBE
