I'm a completely unabashed X-files fan. My wife and I lived without TV for 12 years and never viewed an episode until we purchased 9 years worth of DVD boxed sets here on amazon and watched them all over a single winter.
I am also an unabashed fan of the "Philosophy of the X-files." The concepts, theories and inner angst of Mulder and Scully demanded a philosophical examination directed to present day society and this collection of thought provoking essay's edited by Dean A. Kowalski, who was also a major contributor, does an excellent job.
I have added this book to my collection of X-files reference books and if you'd like to delve beneath the surface of the unique way the X-files views the world around us i recommend this book.

It is not just about the philosophy of "The X Files", also the book analyzes the psychology behind "Mulder", "Scully", "The Smoking Cigarrette Man" and so on.

La filosofía a veces es difìcil de entender en todas sus corrientes. Al aplicarla para el análisis de autores de libros, series de televisión conocidas o exitosas hace mas fácil entender las distintas corrientes. Este libro en particular está fácil de leer, y el hecho de que se aplique concretamente a esta serie exitosa de televisión, la cual sierve como ejemplo aplicado de filosofía, hace mas fàcil su comprensión para aquel estudiante de filosofía.
