The Philosophy of Tolkien: The Worldview Behind The “Lord of the Rings” by Peter J. Kreeft
Requirements: ePUB, MOBI or AZW3 Reader, 1.3MB
Overview: This book is not about Tolkien’s world. It is about Tolkien’s worldview, Tolkien’s philosophy. Exploring that can be another adventure. For while this philosophy is as much a part of Tolkien’s world as its wars, its life forms, its history, its beauties, and its terrors, the philosophy is not on the surface, as are these other things, but hidden beneath it, or behind it, or inside it, inside the things and events in the story. If The Lord of the Rings were an allegory, the philosophy would be on the surface, like rocks. Instead, it is more like the molten core of the earth: central but hidden.
While nothing can equal or replace the adventure in reading Tolkien’s masterwork, The Lord of the Rings, Peter Kreeft says that the journey into its underlying philosophy can be another exhilarating adventure.Thus, Kreeft takes the reader on a voyage of discovery into the philosophical bones of Middle earth. He organizes the philosophical themes in The Lord of the Rings into 50 categories, accompanied by over 1,000 references to the text of Lord.Since many of the great questions of philosophy are included in the 50-theme outline, this book can also be read as an engaging introduction to philosophy. For each of the philosophical topics in Lord, Kreeft presents tools by which they can be understood. Illustrated.
