PHILOSOPHY AND BREAKING BAD GEBUNDEN

This volume considers the numerous philosophical ideas and arguments found in and inspired by
the critically acclaimed series Breaking Bad . This show garnered both critical and popular
attention for its portrayal of a cancer-stricken  middle-aged  middle-class  high school
chemistry teacher's drift into the dark world of selling methamphetamine to support his family.
Its characters  situations  and aesthetic raise serious and familiar philosophical issues 
especially related to ethics and morality. The show provokes a bevy of rich questions and
discussion points  such as: What are the ethical issues surrounding drugs? What lessons about
existentialism and fatalism does the show present? How does the show grapple with the concept
of the end 'justifying' the means? Is Walt really free not to 'break bad'? Can he be redeemed?
What is the definition and nature of badness (or evil) itself? Contributors address these and
other questions as they dissect the legacy of the show and discuss its contributions to
philosophical conversations.
