Overview: Inner Space Philosophy by author James Tartaglia is a unique philosophic fantasia, using imagination and drama to argue for philosophy’s vital importance to the human future.

Verdict: Inner Space Philosophy is both a work of original philosophy and an entertainment package, since Tartaglia believes imaginative presentation to be a crucial feature of our philosophical traditions, one which has been neglected to our detriment in the drive to model philosophy on science.

Arguing for the utmost importance of philosophy to the human future, such that we must eventually become a philosophical people, Tartaglia discusses topics such as the meaning of life, idealism, materialism, determinism, video games and existential threats.

These discussions transpire through ethereal encounters with philosophers from throughout world history, some from the distant future and prehistoric past, as well as a cosmic battle between Lady Luck, Fate and Philosophy, and a biography of Gambo Lai Lai the Cynic, a philosopher from Trinidad who flourished during the golden age of calypso music.

Ergo, this is a book which amazes, challenges and provokes deep reflection in equal measure and one in which I myself dived into head first and nearly managed to read all the engaging prose written between the covers in the one day.

It truly is that an appealing, enticing subject matter to me and millions of others, and thus I hope even the random passerby’s can find some form of intrigue here to grip onto and therefore delve deeper into the world of Inner Space Philosophy, told here through the educated, informatively sculpted mind of James Tartaglia.

For what Tartaglia has done is take the subject of philosophy and make it an engaging experience for all that open the pages of this most wonderful new book on the subject matter to hand. So now, for all intents and purposes, Inner Space Philosophy has humor, wit and insight free flowing within it, which can only spark debates, and our very own thinking on the subject to expands in the most gloriously unusual, and contemplative of ways.
