The show and the book that inspired it both dramatically highlight the troubling, stressful situation of millions of incarcerated Americans. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHow do the show's shower scenes shed light on the classical mind-body problem? How can we make our lives meaningful when our options are curtailed by authority? What does it mean to manipulate someone, and why is it bad? What can we learn about human beliefs from Pennsatucky's notion of the gay agenda? Is Litchfield Prison a preparation for life outside -- or just a scale model of life outside? What could the governors of Litchfield learn from Jeremy Bentham and his panopticon? How is it that even in prison we find ourselves condemned to be free? Why is one of the worst things about prison being forced to see who and what we really are? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIt so happens that life in prison is overfull of philosophical implications. \u003ci\u003eOrange Is the New Black and Philosophy\u003c\/i\u003e stays close to the characters and scenes of the TV show, applying insights from ethics, existentialism, metaphysics, epistemology, and political philosophy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRichard Greene\u003c\/b\u003e is a professor of philosophy at Weber State University in Utah.
