SUPERHEROES AND PHILOSOPHY: TRUTH, JUSTICE, AND THE SOCRATIC WAY

Book ID/图书代码： 09912005B05241

English Summary/英文概要： The comic book superheroes — Superman, Batman, the Incredible Hulk, the Fantastic Four, X-Men, and many others — have proved to be a powerful and enduring thread in popular culture, a rich source of ideas for moviemakers, novelists, and philosophers. Superheroes and Philosophy brings together 16 leading philosophers and some of the most creative people in the world of comics, from storywriters to editors to critics, to examine the deeper issues that resonate from the hyperbolic narratives and superhuman actions of this heroic world. The comic book narratives of superheroes wrestle with profound and disturbing issues in original ways: the definitions of good and evil, the limits of violence as an efficacious means, the perils of enforcing justice outside the law, the metaphysics of personal identity, and the definition of humanity. The book also features original artwork specially commissioned from some of the most popular of today’s comic book artists.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 漫画书中的超级英雄------超人、蝙蝠侠、不可思议的绿巨人、神奇四侠 、X战警等等-------已经成了流行文化中一个源源流长的重量级的脉搏，他们激发了无数电影制作人、小说家和哲学家的创作思源。《超级英雄与哲学》汇集了十六位顶级哲学家以及漫画领域的一部分最有创造力的小说家、编辑和评论家，他们一起探讨了那些从夸张的叙述中渗透出来的更深层次的问题以及英雄主义世界中的超人行为。漫画书中超级英雄们的故事其实就是最直接地探讨了那些深奥、揪人心肺的问题：善与邪的定义，暴力作为有效手段的极限、用法律以外的尺度来执法可能带来的危险、人格同一性的玄学理论以及人类的定义。
