Description

The philosopher and author, Peter Kreeft, presents what he calls "a second adventure of discovery." While nothing can equal, or replace, the adventure in reading Tolkien's masterwork, "The Lord of the Rings", Kreeft says that the journey into the underlying philosophy of Tolkien, or his "world-view", can be another exhilarating adventure. Thus, he takes the reader on a voyage of discovery into the philosophical bones of Middle earth. Like a good concordance, this book organises the philosophical themes in "The Lord of the Rings" into 50 categories, accompanied by over 1,000 references to the text.
