Luxury fashion houses would say something shorter and sharper and much more legally binding on the rip-off merchants who fake their products. Marcus Boon, a Canadian English professor with an accessible turn of phrase, takes us on an erudite voyage through the theme in a serious but engaging encounter with the ideas of thinkers as varied as Plato, Hegel, Orson Welles, Benjamin, Heidegger, Louis Vuitton, Takashi Murakami and many more, on topics as philosophically taxing and pop-culture-light as mimesis, Christianity, capitalism, authenticity, Uma Thurman's handbag and Disneyland. 606 $aCopying 606 $aPhilosophical anthropology 606 $aMahayana Buddhism$xDoctrines 615 0$aCopying. 615 0$aPhilosophical anthropology. 615 0$aMahayana Buddhism$xDoctrines. 676 $a153 700 $aBoon$b Marcus$0595986 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910791682203321 996 $aIn praise of copying$93727991 997 $aUNINA
