Description:
The book explores the movie's key questions and themes, including how we can tell if we're dreaming or awake, how to make sense of a paradox, and whether or not inception is possible. It also gives new insights into the nature of free will, time, dreams, and the unconscious mind. In addition, it discusses different interpretations of the film, and whether or not philosophy can help shed light on which is the "right one,' and deepens your understanding of the movie's multi-layered plot and dream-infiltrating characters, including Dom Cobb, Arthur, Mal, Ariadne, Eames, Saito, and Yusuf.You can find the complete "And Philosophy" series at http://andphilosophy.com/Kyle writes a blog for Psychology Today, called "Plato on Pop," with William Irwin.You can find their blog here: http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/plato-popKyle also hosts a podcast on Philosophy and Pop Culture with Jay Kelly.You can find the podcast here: http://philosophyandpopculture.com/

Apr 19, 2012 - I wonder if he chose the location of the lecture on purpose....lol
aussiETau Says:
Apr 19, 2012 - What was really a miss in this lecture are the endless possibilities of exploring the creativity and actual practical use of lucid dreaming. ex:I could dream of a prototype car using combine technology (with the hindsight of 3D graphics to visualize, data, movies and doco of different elements, factors and etch to enhance vision...an hour from a the 5 min w/ defying physics and then multi-layers of 5 mins (or one can dream for 8 hrs with the equal of 96 hrs in dream state) can help R&D time....

May 9, 2012 - Allow me to sum up how the video proves you wrong, seeing as you clearly didn't watch it.Possibilies and reasons of the ending being-:Cobb's Dream: He knows how his totem works.Ariadne's Dream: Cobb tells her how his totem works.Anyone's Dream: Cobbs totem is inverted, in such a way that it acts uniquely within a dream and normally in reality. Therefore, anyone who is the dreamer would guess how Cobb's totem would act (it would fall) because that's the normal outcome.

May 9, 2012 - People seem to be missing the most obvious here. That the whole movie is... a movie. The concept of dream sharing is exactly what a movie is. It doesn't matter if the top falls, or if it was all a dream. When it cuts to black the movie/dream is over for the audience. It's that simple folks.

May 10, 2012 - you missed the one in that it's Mals totem in the first place and not his anyway!
sleepyskorpion Says:
May 12, 2012 - I thought that Cobb's totem was his childrens' faces being vague in dreams, and vivid in reality. Which is why he turns his back on the spinning top at the end, because that's just his decoy totem. He loves his children and his wife, but the true versions of them, not ilusory copies, he would never turn his back on his real wife or children, which further encourages the notion that the children at the end were in fact his actual kids.
sleepyskorpion Says:
May 12, 2012 - And by turning his back on the top, it proves that in his mind, his totem, whatever it was, had already proved itself. And what's the one thing that is different, it's his ability to see his children's faces clearly. As for going only one layer up upon waking from a dream, Cobb had already gone up to near surface, otherwise the other players in the movie would never have been able to even interract with him.

May 12, 2012 - WTF i just googled my idea and it turns out hundreds of people already had the same theory :( Why can't i come up with something new for once dammit!!! Ok, how about this... *brains freezes*... :(

May 15, 2012 - Anyone interest in fully understanding Inception should study Gnosticism. That is, real Gnosticism - not modern Gnosticism.

May 18, 2012 - I personally liked Inception better than the Kings Speech, but Kings Speech is such a good movie. I can understand why it won best picture.
