James Cameron’s critically acclaimed movie Avatar was nominated for nine Academy Awards and received countless accolades for its breath-taking visuals and use of 3D technology. But beyond its cinematic splendour, can Avatar also offer us insights into business ethics, empathy, disability, and the relationship between mind and body? Can getting to know the Na’vi, an alien species, enlarge our vision and help us to “see” both our world and ourselves in new ways?

  • Written by an esteemed group of philosophers who are avid fans of Avatar themselves
  • Explains philosophical concepts in an enjoyable and accessible manner that will appeal to all levels of readers
