Check out
my new interview
over at X-Files News.com, the #1 source for X-Files news on
the internet. Special thanks to editor Tiffany Devol and the many fans
who wrote in with many insightful questions. Several of my recent X-Files edits
are now available in my Portfolio.
Additional thanks to Zellie, aka Leucocrystal, for
putting my question
to X-Files creator Chris
Carter at the recent Book Soup signing in Los Angeles. I asked about
the proliferation of The X-Files
throughout YouTube considering the next generation of viewers are
discovering the series through these very online viral videos.
The questions raised by the
phenomenon of The X-Files
continue to resonate. Dean A. Kowalski, the author of The Philosophy of The X-Files,
recently got in touch after seeing my X-Files
video, Philosophy in The
X-Files:
Lyle, your video 'Philosophy in The
X-Files'
is truly moving and effectively captures how philosophers tend to
think
about pursuing the Truth. That you were able to capture this via The
X-Files warms my heart, as it tells
me you don't need to be a professional philosopher to see the value of
the Truth out there.
Sincerely,
Dean Kowalski
Editor/Author, "The Philosophy of The X-Files"
The University Press of Kentucky
Addressing questions of trust
and authority that plague our information-addled society, The X-Files
acquired a large fan base of individuals interested in debating and
interpreting the philosophical themes that underlie the symbiotic
partnership between Mulder and Scully. In The Philosophy of The X-Files,
Kowalski discusses a wide variety of philosophical issues and
principles against the backdrop of The
X-Files, "the most intellectually challenging series in the
history of television" (Gilligan
Unbound: Pop Culture in the Age
of Globalization). It's fascinating stuff, check it out!
