Why It's OK to Love Bad Movies

Why It's OK to Love Bad Movies

Most people are too busy to keep up with all the good movies they’d like to see so why should anyone spend their precious time watching the bad ones? In Why It’s OK to Love Bad Movies philosopher and cinematic bottom feeder Matthew Strohl enthusiastically defends a fondness for disreputable films. Combining philosophy of art with film criticism Strohl flips conventional notions of good and bad on their heads and makes the case that the ultimate value of a work of art lies in what it can add to our lives. By this measure some of the worst movies ever made are also among the best. Through detailed discussions of films such as Troll 2 The Room Batman & Robin Twilight Ninja III: The Domination and a significant portion of Nicolas Cage’s filmography Strohl argues that so-called bad movies are the ones that break the rules of the art form without the aura of artistic seriousness that surrounds the avant-garde. These movies may not win any awards but they offer rich opportunities for creative engagement and enable the formation of lively fan communities and they can be a key ingredient in a fulfilling aesthetic life. Key Features: Written in a humorous approachable style appealing to readers with no background in philosophy. Elaborates the rewards of loving bad movies such as forming unlikely social bonds and developing refinement without narrowness. Discusses a wide range of beloved bad movies including Plan 9 from Outer Space The Core Battlefield Earth and Freddy Got Fingered. Contains the most extensive discussion of Nicolas Cage ever included in a philosophy book. | Why It's OK to Love Bad Movies

Why It's OK to Make Bad Choices

Why It's OK to Make Bad Choices

If we are kind people we care about others including others who tend to hurt themselves. We all have friends or family members who have potential but squander or even ruin their lives from things like drug abuse unwise spending decisions or poor dietary habits. Concern for others often motivates us to endorse laws or private interventions meant to keep people from harming themselves even if that’s what they want to do in the moment. However it is far from clear that such paternalistic measures are on net benign and they tend to violate an understanding that we should let adults make their own decisions. In this little book William Glod argues that it’s OK to allow people to make bad choices. It’s OK even if those choices risk causing a lot of harm. Most defenders of paternalism agree that some bad choices are not harmful enough to require laws to stop them. However Glod goes further. He argues that some people might want – and deserve – the freedom to make truly bad choices because such freedom is the only way they can act responsibly. He also argues that some bad choices may not even be bad even if we can't know with confidence a person's true desires. In addition the book explores choices that are bad because they might impose high monetary costs on others arguing that mandatory insurance may be a better solution than eliminating the choice. Finally it explores the potential pitfalls of paternalistic laws and policies – and how unintended costly consequences can sabotage the most well-intended plans. Key Features Introduces key concepts for understanding paternalism and freedom of choice for undergraduates and general readers Discusses how many of our preferences are not easily understood by others and shows how assumptions of what our true preferences can often backfire Explores ways in which people may want the freedom to make mistakes Examines the unintended consequences and associated problems of many paternalistic laws and regulations | Why It's OK to Make Bad Choices
