Title: Avatar: The Last Airbender and Philosophy: Wisdom from Aang to Zuko Series: Part of Blackwell Philosophy and Pop Culture Author: unknown Narrator: Tegan Ashton Cohan, Diontae Black Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 42 minutes Release date: April 25, 2023 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 3 Genres: Lessons in Philosophy Publisher's Summary: Would our world be a better place if some of us were benders? Can Katara repair the world through care? Is Toph a disability pride icon? What does it mean for Zuko to be bad at being good? Can we tell whether uncle Iroh is a fool or a sage? On the face of it, Avatar: The Last Airbender is a story about a lone superhero. However, saving the world is a team effort, embodied in Team Avatar, aka the Gaang. Aang needs help from his friends and tutors, even from non-human animals. Avatar: The Last Airbender and Philosophy brings to the fore the Eastern, Western, and Indigenous philosophies that are implicit in the show. This volume features contributions by experts on Buddhist, Daoist, Confucian, and Indigenous schools of thought, next to focusing on Western classical authors. The volume is also unique in drawing on less common traditions such as black abolitionism, anarchism, and the philosophy of martial arts. ATLA and Philosophy helps listeners to deeply engage with today's burning questions, such as how to deal with ecological destruction, the aftermath of colonialism and genocide, and wealth inequality, using the tools from a wide range of philosophical traditions.
