Saul Goodman - the American Candide?

Essays on Politics, Philosophy and Film

About this book

In Central European academe, Josette Baer is known for her biographies of Slovak politicians and analysis of Czech and Slovak intellectual histories, with special consideration of the 19th and 20th centuries. This book proves that she is also an accomplished political theorist, focussing on Western political philosophy. Her essays, held in the free-floating style of Montaigne, offer a fascinating insight into how film as a medium can portray political thought – and this in a captivating and convincing fashion. Baer's collection of seven essays is the first publication of this kind; her analysis covers films such as The Best of Enemies and The Lost Daughter, and the TV series Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. Therefore, Baer's book is of interest to everybody who appreciates an interdisciplinary approach to politics, philosophy, and film. Jaroslav Mihálik, University of Ss. Cyrill and Method (UCM), Trnava, Slovak Republic
