Better Call Saul and Philosophy: I Think Therefore I Scam belongs in any me= dia studies collection strong in analyzing television and films. Its subjec=
t goes beyond plot and character study, however, to delve into the moral an=
d ethical dilemmas presented in Better Call Saul, requiring that readers ha=
ve a basic familiarity with the subject in order to apply the philosophical=
reflections here. Joshua Heter and Brett Coppenger gather essays that are = candid, contemporary, and often push the common scholarly tone boundaries o=
f philosophical inspection. One such example is Joshua Luczak's "Saul's Bul= lshit's Not All Good, Man." Its inspection of truth, lies, and what occurs = between them provides not just food for thought, but ideally discussion mat= erial highly recommended for any viewer of Better Call Saul, or for modern = young philosophers who would more closely examine the connections and appro= aches of modern philosophy to movies and media.
