Abstract
- The article "Philosophers on Cars" from Philosophy Now explores how great minds in philosophy have occasionally ventured beyond traditional topics like epistemology and metaphysics to write about cars. The text highlights various philosophers' perspectives on cars, such as Roland Barthes comparing them to Gothic cathedrals and Bertrand Russell using the metaphor of the game of 'chicken'. The article also touches on how philosophers like Elizabeth Anscombe and Hannah Arendt have discussed cars in relation to intention and totalitarianism, respectively. [Extracted from the article]
