The drama, which centers on Marine Sergeant Nicholas Brody's release from an al-Qaeda prison, and CIA Agent Carrie Mathison's distrust of his intentions, asks questions of identity, what it means to be a terrorist, the conditions and effects of brainwashing, lying for the greater good, and whether or not courage is a virtue. <p/>But these questions are only a few among many that are explored in the obscure, paranoid world of <i>Homeland</i>. Through the lenses of Rawls, Kant, Arendt, Foucault, Heidegger, Sartre, and Kierkegaard, among others, <i>Homeland and Philosophy</i> considers the ethics of drone warfare; whether or not Carrie Mathison's personality changes and psychological disorder make her an interesting character study in the metaphysics of personhood; at what point privacy is only an illusion; and concepts of torture, punishment, and discipline. <p/><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Robert Arp</b> is the author and editor of numerous books, book chapters, and articles on philosophy and philosophy and pop culture.
