review 1: The contributing authors were spot on with a lot of the philosophical concepts they decided to address. However, it was disappointing that so many of the authors picked the same topics AND made similar commentary in consecutive essays. They even picked the same passages to quote in their essays. It is as if the editor did not look at the essay collection as a collective, or, he simply couldn't get a wider variety of perspective.
review 2: Alice in Wonderland and Philosophy is a book comprised of short essays by various authors. Each essay contains how Alice in Wonderland relates to philosophy in some way. The authors of the essays are all in the academic field and the essays read as such. The book was something I would not normally read for pleasure. In just ta... moreking an English Lit Criticism class, it reminded me of the selections I had to read for class. This is a great book for those doing academic research in the fields of English and/or Philosophy but I don't think that the average reader will find this as their typical read. less
