Josef Steiff "Sherlock Holmes and Philosophy The Footprints of a Gigantic Mind )Open Court Books)

Sherlock Holmes and Philosophy is a fun read for any Holmes fan. The book is part of the Popular Culture and Philosophy series and contains 33 short chapters broken up into 7 categories. The "amateur detectives" authors deal with all sorts of topics about Sherlock Holmes including: discussions of philosophers and theories, summations of cases, several folks pick their favourite Holmes actor and give reasons why, there are chapters on the development of the detective genre, Moriarty, virtual reality, and how Holmes adjusted to married life to name a few. The book deals with all sorts of Holmesiana: the official Doyle canon, the non-canonical Doyle stories, pastiches, television, theater, and film (including Star Trek and Japanese) manifestations, and modern fiction. Wonderfully entertaining read.
