A Mad Tea Party: Alice in Wonderland (Abridged) Audiobook

" A whole pile of short pop philosophy essays, some more related than others to Carroll's stories. (Not to mention some beyond-questionable speculation. 'Alice's line, "little girls eat eggs quite as much as serpents do," even resonates with today's pro-life/pro-choice discussion.' Really?) "

" This collection, of essays by various philosophy professors about how aspects of their discipline inform our readings of the Alice books, or vice versa, was disappointing to me because of the very basic nature of the essays. And while Carroll was well-incorporated by some of the authors, others seemed to have a more pro-forma relationship with the texts. It's a good read, but very basic; having previously read none of the Blackwell Philosophy and Pop Culture series, but having read a study called Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Philosophy that was far more in-depth, I think I was just expecting something different. "

" WAY too effin repetative.. it had good points but did not fall through and went off track with connecting to history more then the main point.. ALICE IN WONDERLAND... but somethings did get me thinking... ending was lame "

" An entertaining and balanced analysis of nonsense "

" it started out great and there were some parts i loved and read twice others couldnt keep my attention "

" There were a few interesting analytical articles in here, particularly "Unruly Alice: A Feminist View of Some Adventures in Wonderland" by Megan S. Lloyd and "'You're Nothing But A Pack of Cards!":Alice Doesn't Have a Social Contract" by Dennis Knepp. "

" A nice collection of essays on the philosophical aspects of Alice's experiences in Wonderland and Looking-Glass country. The essays are solid and thoughtful, though at times they read a bit much into the text. "

" Another great philosophy book from the publisher. I love that these essays were variant and there was even a great feminism essay on how Alice is the ideal feminist role-model (which I really agree with!) Coupled with how much I love Lewis Carroll's works, this was an excellent read. "

" You can read my review here. "

" This was a terrible "philosophical" look at Alice in Wonderlnad. I felt it was written to much on the "fact" that Lewis Carroll did drugs, which is NOT true! I also didn't appreciate how the authors thought Alice a feminist figure. "

" I am learning so much about a favorite childrens tale- if you love Alice I really suggest this book "

" Uncovers many philosophical points in Alice in Wonderland, good read if you into philosophy but dont expect too much from it... "

" This is probably really interesting to someone, but it really just wasn't for me. "

" Some interesting essays -- some better than others -- but I am grateful to have a contemporary and intellectual reading of the philosophy in the books. "

" LOVE it!!! And I have been referencing bits and pieces almost once a week in a variety of contexts, which shows a real winner to me! "

" So far, I know why I like Alice so much... strong minded women stick together. "
