If you think that Fantasy is just for entertainment and imagination, you're giving the genre short shrift. Imagining the world as different than it is has tons of philosophical implications that apply directly to our experiences of our modern world.

Think about how The First Law series is different than Lord of the Rings. Now think about how our relationships and trust in those in authority have changed in between the publications of those two series.

Fantasy is about the world we're living in right now and our hopes and dreams for it.
