Product Information

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.

Reviews
"Utilitarian decisions, musings aboutmortality, questions as to whether one is the same person over time, dealingwith the consequences of self-deception--there's so much philosophical contentin Better Call Saul ,all of which profoundly enriches the story. This entertaining andthought-provoking volume will more than help the reader appreciate thatenrichment." --Robert Arp PhD, co-editor of BreakingBad and Philosophy: Badder Living through Chemistry (2012), "The landscape of Better Call Saul , where each character iscultivated with great subtlety and humanity, is fertile ground for focusedexamination. This collection is an insightful--and often surprising--look at theshow's big players, how they preen and strive, grow and fail." --Peter Diseth, a.k.a. DDA Bill Oakley, "This is a great readand I swear I'm not just saying that because I'm on the show! Like the other booksin this series, Better Call Saul andPhilosophy carries on the tradition of examining the complexity of characteror, in this case, characters . What motivates them? What inspires them?But, most importantly, what inspires and motivates us to like them? This is a terrificread for those who have any interest in seemingly decent people doing terriblyunseemly things. You know, like a vet who loves animals but is okay with peoplebeing murdered." --Joe DeRosa, a.k.a. Dr. Caldera, theanimal-loving vet, Better Call Saul and Philosophy: I Think Therefore I Scam belongsin any media studies collection strong in analyzing television and films. Itssubject goes beyond plot and character study, however, to delve into the moraland ethical dilemmas presented in Better Call Saul, requiring that readers havea basic familiarity with the subject in order to apply the philosophicalreflections here. Joshua Heter and Brett Coppenger gather essays that arecandid, contemporary, and often push the common scholarly tone boundaries ofphilosophical inspection. One such example is Joshua Luczak's "Saul'sBullshit's Not All Good, Man." Its inspection of truth, lies, and whatoccurs between them provides not just food for thought, but ideally discussionmaterial highly recommended for any viewer of Better Call Saul, or for modernyoung philosophers who would more closely examine the connections andapproaches of modern philosophy to movies and media. -The Bookwatch: September 2022: Midwest Book Review, "Do the characters in Better Call Saul have a moral compass? Dothey give a damn about ethics--and if so, in what capacity? A number ofknowledgeable contributors discuss these and many more topics in twenty-three(occasionally humorous) chapters. So, before calling Saul, you Better Read thisBook!" --Dr. Marius Stan, a.k.a. Bogdan, the carwash owner in Breaking Bad
