Deep Values in Dystopian Literature | Angelica Walker-Werth

Join us for LevelUp 2024-the most life-enhancing conference of the year: objectivestandard.org/confere...
Dystopian novels tend to be dark and depressing. So what can a lover of life and freedom get out of them? Examining both classic and modern examples of dystopian fiction, from 1984 to The Hunger Games, Angel Walker-Werth zeros in on key aspects of the stories, including plot, theme, and characterization, and shows how we can draw out and make explicit the positive, life-serving values that may be only implicit or under the surface.

Thank you for this lecture! Me and a friend discussed this very topic in relation to objectivist aestethics the day before this got posted. We'll continue the discussion with this video as a resource.
