Are you prepared, either as an atheist or a religious believer, to have your ideas of God, the self, other people, the body, the soul, spirituality, and faith challenged in an unexpected and original way? Here is a book that moves out from under and away from the received notions of those ponderous topics, whether or not you believe in the divine. The author is a confessed atheist but one who rejects the approach of Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, Michel Onfray and the rest when they depart from their justifiable criticisms of the historical record of the established creeds and endeavour to rubbish what faith could actually be. The book takes its origin from an exploration of the idea of an avatar; the writing of it was stimulated by seeing the Cameron film, though it subjects that film itself to an assessment of its hidden assumptions. The book finally arrives at specific recommendations for our time, ones to which the argument of the book has been directed throughout.

Would our world be a better place if some of us were benders? Can Katara repair the world through care? Is Toph a disability pride icon? What does it mean for Zuko to be bad at being good? Can we tell whether uncle Iroh is a fool or a sage? The world is out of sorts. The four nations, Water, Earth, Fire, and Air, are imbalanced because of the unrelenting conquest of the Fire Nation. The only one who can restore balance to the world is the Avatar. On the face of it, Avatar: The Last Airbender is a story about a lone superhero. However, saving the world is a team effort, embodied in Team Avatar, aka the Gaang. Aang needs help from his friends and tutors, even from non-human animals. Through the teachings of Guru Pathik and Huu he comes to realize that though the world and its nations seem separate, we are all one people. We all have the same roots and we are all branches of the same tree. Avatar: The Last Airbender and Philosophy brings to the fore the Eastern, Western, and Indigenous philosophies that are implicit in the show. Following Uncle Iroh’s advice that it is important to draw wisdom from many traditions, this volume features contributions by experts on Buddhist, Daoist, Confucian, and Indigenous schools of thought, next to focusing on Western classical authors such as Plotinus, Kant, and Merleau-Ponty. The volume is also unique in drawing on less common traditions such as black abolitionism, anarchism, and the philosophy of martial arts. Intertwining experience and reflection, ATLA and Philosophy helps readers to deeply engage with today’s burning questions, such as how to deal with ecological destruction, the aftermath of colonialism and genocide, and wealth inequality, using the tools from a wide range of philosophical traditions.

What would Aristotle think of Team Avatar? How would Plato view the Fire Lord? Avatar: The Last Airbender is one of the most popular and acclaimed works of the last several decades. Using the classic structure of a magical hero fighting against a tyrannical emperor, Avatar creates an inquisitive, empathetic narrative about redemption and renewal in the aftermath of a debilitating war that has raged for a century. Through its three seasons and sixty-one episodes, Avatar contemplates not only what it means to be just, but what it means to build a just society. It interrogates our relationships with each other, with ourselves, and with our natural environment. Viewing Avatar from the perspective of philosophers past and present, The Philosophy of Avatar demonstrates how the show offers both timeless and timely wisdom. The show carries the spirits of both the ancient Athenian teacher Plato and the modern American environmentalist Rachel Carson. Just as Avatar warns against drawing wisdom from only one source, The Philosophy of Avatar takes care to examine the series from a variety of perspectives so as to better demonstrate the wisdom it can offer about understanding ourselves and our world. Whether you're an Avatar fan or a philosophy aficionado, The Philosophy of Avatar will delight and challenge you. Joshua Fagan is a critic, novelist, and essayist from Colorado Springs. Since 2016, he has written extensively about Avatar. He is the founder and editor-in-chief of the science-fiction magazine Orion's Belt. His YouTube channel has received over one million views.

Book Excerpt: ...at once, like a vision, or a complete revelation.The first real Light that comes will be that of Faith, a term generally misunderstood and misused.Faith is the complete antithesis of blind dogma and superstition. It is born within the soul, and never imposed by outward authority enforced by fear."Faith is the soul's intuitive conviction of that which both reason and conscience approve."To give intellectual assent to belief in God is one thing; to be able to declare with light and warmth that uplifts and inspires, "I know that my Redeemer liveth" is another thing entirely.The impatience above referred to would see the end from the beginning, and know all about the development and destiny of the soul before it has learned the first lesson that guides and determines both.When, however, Science and Religion clasp hands, and the facts of nature guided by the light of Faith, build character and guide progress, there is revealed a Philosophy of Life...
