deeper underlying meaning in the Alice books, and reveals a world
rich with philosophical life lessons. Tapping into some of the
greatest philosophical minds that ever lived?Aristotle, Hume,
Hobbes, and Nietzsche?Alice in Wonderland and Philosophy explores
life?s ultimate questions through the eyes of perhaps the most
endearing heroine in all of literature.

well as how logic fares in a world of lunacy, the Mad Hatter,
clocks, and temporal passage

the violent Queen of Hearts, and the grinning Cheshire Cat
