The Godfather and Philosophy: We’re Gonna Make ‘em an Argument they can’t Refute

Call for Abstracts!

Edited by Joshua Heter and Richard Greene Abstracts are sought for a collection of essays on any philosophical topic related to The Godfather: the novel, the three films, or issues related to the production of the films to be published with Carus Books (this is the same editorial team that was long with Open Court Publishing). Potential contributors may want to examine previously published volumes such as The Sopranos and Philosophy, Westworld and Philosophy, The Princess Bride and Philosophy, and The Man in the High Castle and Philosophy.
