(2017) Philosophy and breaking bad, Dordrecht, Springer.
In this chapter, I argue that Breaking Bad provides case studies in the absurdity (or meaninglessness) of the world, understood through a cross-interrogation of Richard Rorty's idea of contingency and the tenets of French existentialism. Reflecting on the show serves as edification for our own absurd predicament.
