Book Synopsis The Onion and Philosophy by : Sharon M. Kaye

Download or read book The Onion and Philosophy written by Sharon M. Kaye and published by Open Court Publishing. This book was released on 2010 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Onion, with its unique brand of deadpan satirical humor, has become a familiar part of the American scene. The newspaper has a readership of over a million, and it reaches millions more with its spin-off books and The Onion News Network. The Onion has shown us that standard ways of thinking about the news have their grotesque and silly side, and this invites philosophical examination. Twenty-one philosophers were commissioned to figure out just what makes the Onion so truthful and insightful. Are the Onion writers truly cynical, or just cynically faking it? Does the Onion really have a serious point of view on religion? On sex? On politics? Who cares what Area Man thinks? If everyone’s so dumb, how come so many Onion readers keep on laughing at how dumb they are?
