2017 saw the triumphant return of the weird and
haunting TV show Twin Peaks, with most of the
original cast, after a gap of twenty-five years.
Twin Peaks and Philosophy finally answers that
puzzling question What is Twin Peaks really
about?Twin Peaks is about evil in various forms,
and poses the question What8217sthe worst kind
of evil? Can the everyday evil of humans in a
small mountain town ever be as evil as the evil
of alien supernatural beings? Or
4
is the evil of non-humans actually less
threatening because it8217sso strange
and unaccountable? And does the influence of
uncanny forces somehow excuse the crimes
committed by regular folks? Some Twin Peaks
characters try their own moral code, as in the
cast of Albert Rosenfeld, who and upsets
everyone by his forthright honesty. Twin Peaks is
to confine evil by sticking to refuses to
disguise his feelings about responsibility, both
legal
and moral. Who is really responsible for the
death of Laura Palmer and other murder victims?
Although Leland has been revealed as
Laura8217sactual killer, the show suggests
that no one in town was without some
responsibility. And was Leland even guilty at
all, if he was not in control of his own mind or
body? Twin Peaks is about the quest for self-
knowledge and the dangers of that quest, as
Agent Cooper keeps learning something new about
himself, as well as about the troubled
townspeople. The Buddhist Cooper has to confront
his own shadow side, culminating in the rite of
passage at the Black Lodge, at the end of Season
Two. Twin Peaks is about madness, sanity, the
borderline between them, and the necessity of
some madness to make sense of sanity. The
outwardly super-normal if somewhat eccentric
Agent Dale Cooper is the inspired, deranged, and
dedicated shaman who seeks the truth by coming
to terms with the reality of unreason, partly
through his dreams and partly through his
existential encounters with giants, logs, outer
space, and other unexpected sources. Cooper
challenges official law enforcement8217sover-rel
iance on science. Twin Peaks is about the
imagination run wild, moving from metaphysics to
pataphysics8212th discipline invented by
Alfred Jarry, which probes the assumption that
anything can happen and discovers the laws
governing events which constitute exceptions to
all laws.
