Much of what we have seen so far this year, the 200th Anniversary of Mary Shelly's account of "The Modern Prometheus", has been talk about its enduring legacy in popular culture. A few books have delved deeper into the science and psychology behind the author and her creation.
Presented here are a series of articles that raise the subject to the heights of the philosophical. The October/November issue of PHILOSOPHY NOW (#128) includes discussions ranging from the, of course, philosophy of the story to moral and ethical considerations.
Time to shave off your beetle-brow and read some high-tone takes on Frankenstein!
