Rocking with Dr. House: Tractatus Vicodin - Philosophicus Giuseppe Cascione

Inspired by the hit TV series, House MD, this book examines some of the central themes of western philosophy through the eyes of Dr Gregory House, the show's charismatic anti-hero. The title, a homage to Ludwig Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, reflects the book's schematic structure and game-like approach. This is not intended to be a dry academic thesis but an attempt to show that philosophy is as relevant to contemporary media culture as it has ever been.
