The book frames philosophy and science fiction as parallel pursuits of truth, knowledge, wonder, and explanatory hypotheses, with special attention to recurring figures such as heroes and monsters and the values they disrupt. It situates these themes within the decade’s cinematic shifts, including the rise of blockbuster and “high concept” mentality.","Heroes, Monsters and Values  \nHeroes, Monsters and Values: Science Fiction Films of the 1970s  \nEdited by  \nMichael Berman and Rohit Dalvi  \nHeroes, Monsters and Values:  \nScience Fiction Films of the 1970s,  \nEdited by Michael Berman and Rohit Dalvi  \nThis book first published 2011  \nCambridge Scholars Publishing  \n12 Back Chapman Street, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE6 2XX, UK  \nBritish Library Cataloguing in Publication Data A catalogue record for this book is available from the British Library  \nCopyright © 2011 by Michael Berman and Rohit Dalvi and contributors  \nAll rights for this book reserved.
