Comments on Book Review: Undead and Philosophizing It"Let me think. That does seem to be her summation of it. Consumerism is also a main point of ridicule and admiration in Romero's works, too. The zombies consume people, who are themselves consumed by fear, which makes the living scramble for a social contract that, due to their individualism, they ineptly engineer. In the end, unable to become a living community that can defend itself against the more socially-bonded — but dead — community of the zombies, the social contract crumbles, and the living revert back to their individualistic states of actions, which leads them all to being eaten in no time. I say, Zoc, good call on that one. It does appear that communitarianism is the way to go when surrounded by zombie hordes."TypePad2007-01-30T19:35:50ZJM Cozzolihttps://www.zomboscloset.com/zombos_closet_of_horror_b/tag:typepad.com,2003:https://www.zomboscloset.com/zombos_closet_of_horror_b/2007/01/undead_and_phil/comments/atom.xml/Iloz Zoc commented on 'Book Review: Undead and Philosophizing It'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451d04569e200d83514b7cd69e22007-02-01T00:17:19Z2007-04-29T20:00:48ZIloz ZocMy pleasure.
