007 AND PHILOSOPHY

2.

NO MR. BOND, I EXPECT YOU TO DIE

BOND, EXISTENTIALISM, AND DEATH

Existentialism:
Emphasizes the uniqueness and freedom of the human person as an individual (what makes each life a unique, personal experience) as opposed to the essence of a human being (what makes us all alike).

THIS CLEARLY DESCRIBES 007

15.

PLATO'S ARCHETYPES

16.

THE TYRANT

17.

The Tyrant:
This archetype is a person who craves power and wealth. To Plato these people are the lowest of the low, the typical Bond villain.

18.

THE GUARDIAN

19.

The Guardian:
Plato would describe as the best soldier. They protect others, however, are very prideful and wish to take credit for everything.

20.

THE PHILOSOPHER KING

21.

The Philosopher King:
A person who would be viewed by Plato as the best to lead. They reason things out. To them, the ends always justify the means.

22.

007 AND DEHUMANIZATION

IS JAMES BOND MORAL?
23.

MI:6

24.

MI6 gives their agents numbers to dehumanize them. When people are turned into numbers letting them die becomes easier.

25.

THE ASSASSIN

26.

Bond is basically an assassin for the British Government. In the United States political assassination is prohibited. England, not so much.

27.

THE OBJECTIFICATION OF WOMEN

28.

IMMANUEL KANT

29.

For Kant, "every adult person, women included, has inner worth and dignity and must not be treated as a means to an end."

30.

However, "when a rational adult chooses to engage in an action that does not harm anyone else, then that person is fully justified in making her decision."

31.

YIN AND YANG IN BOND

32.

Yin and Yang in the Bond films is best represented by gender equality in the more resent films.
