"'The Philosophy of the Western' features a variety of essays that consider the philosophical
significance of westerns. From classic films such as Fort Apache (1948) and The Wild
Bunch (1969) to contemporary films and TV shows such as 3:10 to Yuma (2007), and Deadwood
(2004-2006), 'The Philosophy of the Western' uses ancient and modern philosophical
frameworks to analyze the underlying themes of the genre."--Jacket
