Philosophy is a Monster Movie

Shin Godzilla and fiction like A Man in Full, offer plot, material and layers enough to read-in narratives and meaning beyond the surface — pattern making in accordance with the viewer/reader’s mental model, unbound, strictly speaking, by the characters and temporal unfolding of the work itself. There feels sufficient intentionality in the material to claim a surface, a plane from which the viewer/reader can spring into creativity –and there feels sufficient implicit action, connection, non-intentional gestalt to warrant this creativity. These are characteristics shared with useful and enjoyable philosophical works -or works which can otherwise be waxed about philosophically. Or minds which can wax philosophically on a wide range of works. Ditto problem solving in business.
