A philosophical look at the movie Inception and its
brilliant metaphysical puzzles
Is the top still spinning? Was it all a dream? In the world of
Christopher Nolan's four-time Academy Award-winning movie, people
can share one another's dreams and alter their beliefs and
thoughts. Inception is a metaphysical heist film that raises
more questions than it answers: Can we know what is real? Can you
be held morally responsible for what you do in dreams? What is the
nature of dreams, and what do they tell us about the boundaries of
"self" and "other"? From Plato to Aristotle and from Descartes to
Hume, Inception and Philosophy draws from important
philosophical minds to shed new light on the movie's captivating
themes, including the one that everyone talks about: did the top
fall down (and does it even matter)?
* Explores the movie's key questions and themes, including how we
can tell if we're dreaming or awake, how to make sense of a
paradox, and whether or not inception is possible
* Gives new insights into the nature of free will, time, dreams,
and the unconscious mind
* Discusses different interpretations of the film, and whether or
not philosophy can help shed light on which is the "right one"
* Deepens your understanding of the movie's multi-layered plot
and dream-infiltrating characters, including Dom Cobb, Arthur, Mal,
Ariadne, Eames, Saito, and Yusuf
An essential companion for every dedicated Inception fan, this
book will enrich your experience of the Inception universe
and its complex dreamscape.
