Book Reviews of Superheroes and Philosophy: Truth, Justice, and the Socratic Way (Popular Culture and Philosophy)
Book Review: Missed The Boat
Summary: 2 Stars
This one just didn't do it for me. I have enjoyed 2-3 of the authors and some of Morris' work in the past, but this one fell flat. There is some heavy repetition in my mind amongst the collection of essays, super hero characters are repeatedly analyzed, and frankly I felt in a number of cases this book challenged me to take it seriously. If you are a big comic fan, pass, and if you are a big fan of Tom Morris, pass.
