The Mason of the novels is less scrupulous than the Raymond Burr Mason, and would sometimes be in danger of going to jail if the trial didn't turn out right-which it always did, largely because of Mason's cleverness. The Perry Mason icon raises many philosophical issues explored by seventeen different philosophers in this book, including: Can we defend Paul Drake's claim (The Case of the Blonde Bonanza) that Mason is 'a paragon of righteous virtue' despite his predilection for skating on thin legal ice? Can complex murder cases be solved by facts alone-or do we also need empathy? The most convincing way to give a TV episode a surprise ending is by the guilty person suddenly confessing. But in reality, is a confession necessarily so convincing? Does Perry Mason represent the Messiah? How does the Raymond Burr Perry Mason compare with the more recent TV character Saul Goodman (Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul)? Is it morally okay to mislead the police if this helps your client and your client is innocent? How does Perry Mason help us understand the distinction between natural law and positive law? Do the Perry Mason stories comply with Aristotle's recipe for a good work of fiction?" --from Amazon. 540 $a British Library not licensed to copy $c 0. $5 Uk 600 10 $a Mason, Perry $c (Fictitious character) $x Ethics. 600 17 $a Mason, Perry $c (Fictitious character) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01011141 650 0 $a Philosophy. 650 0 $a Law and ethics. 650 0 $a Law $x Philosophy. 650 7 $a Ethics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00915833 650 7 $a Law and ethics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00993904 650 7 $a Law $x Philosophy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00993788 650 7 $a Philosophy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01060777 700 1 $a Rivera, Heather L., $e editor. 700 1 $a Arp, Robert, $e editor. 830 0 $a Popular culture and philosophy ; $v volume 133. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220526014501.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A6383396CF3111EB9A1890BA3BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
