    About this series

    Better Call Saul and Philosophy: I Think Therefore I Scam is a collection of twenty-three essays exploring the philosophical themes in the hit television show Better Call Saul, a prequel to the TV show Breaking Bad.  The sixth and final season of Better Call Saul, with thirteen episodes, began airing in April 2022.

    The central character is Jimmy McGill, whom we know from Breaking Bad as Saul Goodman.  In Better Call Saul he first takes the name of Saul Goodman from the phrase “S’all Good, Man!” Jimmy/Saul is a natural con artist who not only scams from self-interest but also because he enjoys it. He has a strange relationship with his brother, the distinguished lawyer Charles McGill, who resents Jimmy’s delinquency and advantage in parental affection. Jimmy/Saul becomes a lawyer for a drug cartel, and most of the people he meets are criminals and other kinds of villains.

    Like Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul raises a wide range of philosophical issues including the nature of good and evil, personal identity, free will and determinism, the law as it relates to morality, the ethical implications of the war on drugs, death and dying, and many more. Better Call Saul and Philosophy offers thoughtful fans of the show deeper and more provocative insights into the story and the characters.

    Topics covered include: the morality of keeping promises to wrongdoers, the nature of psychosomatic illness, difficult moral choices facing lawyers, just how good or bad are some of the compromised characters in the show, the unintended consequences of the War on Drugs, the similarities between drug cartels and governments, whether bad people are just unlucky, the perils of self-deception, and whether we ever really have much of a choice.

    Better Call Saul and Philosophy is Volume 8 in the path-breaking series, Pop Culture and Philosophy.

      Two brothers going out on the road, traveling from town to town, doing what they do best: fighting demons, monsters, ghosts, and other strange creatures. Across the fifteen seasons of the show, Supernatural has thrilled audiences with the story of two mortal men who move from hunting supernatural monsters to defeating everyone from Satan to the Archangel Michael--and, ultimately, God Himself. In this book, the authors explore and discuss the nature of man, the problem of evil, existentialism, immortality and the philosophical implications that lie between them all.

      Queen and Philosophy: Guaranteed to Blow Your Mind is a collection of cutting-edge philosophical essays on the rock group Queen, founded in 1970 and originally featuring lead vocalist Freddie Mercury, who died of AIDS in 1991.  Queen’s reputation and fan following continue to grow in the twenty-first century. These insightful and provocative chapters include: ● uncover the origins of Queen’s unique style in prog rock, vulgarity, and lower versus higher Romanticism ● examine Queen’s view of love, friendship, and erotic relationships ● draw upon three timeless Queen songs, “We Will Rock You,” “We Are the Champions,” and “Don’t Stop Me Now” and Socrates’s behavior in the Apology, to understand the “rocking” nature of philosophy ● identify the connections between ancient matriarchal religion and Queen’s love for strong female imagery ● explore how Brian May’s astrophysics brings to bear the issues of absolute versus relative spacetime and how the philosophies of Newton, Mach, and Einstein contribute to Queen’s creative output ● analyze the structure of Queen’s sound to answer the inevitable question, How can four people make all that music? ● expose what Queen’s songs tell us about the contemporary theory of mental illness and therapy ● scrutinize Roger Taylor’s stark impressions of ordinary life and death, and their alignment to the cynical musings of Diogenes of Sinope and Seneca’s blunt observations on the shortness of life This book is #6 in our series, Pop Culture and Philosophy.
