The Philosophy of Tolkien: The Worldview Behind The Lord of the Rings

The Philosophy of Tolkien: The Worldview Behind The Lord of the Rings is a scholarly reference book written in 2005 by Peter J. Kreeft, and published by Ignatius Press (San Francisco).
==Summary==
The book discusses the philosophical skeleton and hidden worldviews of J.R.R. Tolkien's mythology, mostly of The Lord of the Rings, as gleaned through quotes from Tolkien himself from his letters and through frequently-made inferences from the original text. 
There are thirteen chapters, each pertaining to a philosophical angle (e.g. "Angelology", "Ethics: The War of Good and Evil", and "the Philosophy of Language"), a conclusion following them, and then following a bibliography is a concordance where over thirty philosophical dilemmas (e.g. "Duty versus Utility", "Obedience to Authority", "Courage", longing for the Sea, "Knowledge by Faith", etc.), virtues, and vices are matched with references in the books of the trilogy.
