Product details

How profound is a little plastic building block? It turns out the answer is "very"! Twenty-two chapters explore philosophy through the world of LEGO, which encompasses the iconic brick itself as well as the animated television shows, feature films, a vibrant adult fan base with over a dozen yearly conventions, an educational robotics program, an award-winning series of video games, hundreds of books, magazines, and comics, and a team-building workshop program for businesses, among much more. This work dives into the many philosophical ideas raised by LEGO bricks and the global multimedia phenomenon they have created. It tackles metaphysical, logical, moral, and conceptual issues in a series of fascinating and stimulating essays. It introduces key areas of philosophy through topics such as creativity and play, conformity and autonomy, consumption and culture, authenticity and identity, architecture, mathematics, and more.
