Description

Inception, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, is the most philosophical, thought-provoking, and disturbing movie since The Matrix. It was the 'existential heist film' of the year 2010. The very idea that our dreams and reality are one and the same has caused many sleepless nights and deep vexing conversations around the world.

The spontaneous association of the film with philosophical dream theories suggests that Inception is underpinned by deep philosophical urges. What is the nature of the world? Are there dreams within dreams? For thousands of years, dreams represented a way of finding hidden memories, desires, and fears.

In Inception and Philosophy, philosophers examine the complicated dream theme from various angles.
