Aristotle analyzed the popular art of his time: the tragedies and
epics. Why should philosophers today not do likewise? Perhaps we can
learn something from children's stories by subverting the dominant
paradigm of adult authority and admitting with Socrates that we don't
know all the answers. Perhaps Batman has ethical lessons to teach that
generalize beyond the pages of comic books. Is it better to like
Mozart than it is to like Madonna? Kurt Cobain gave voice to the
attitude of a generation, singing, 'Here we are, now entertain us.' Is
entertainment a bad thing, or could it actually have value-and not
just instrumental value?
