Existentialism and Superhero Ethics : Blood on the Battlefield

Omtale

In this book, Troy Michael Bordun brings contemporary comics to bear on several key sites of externalist ethics: personal identity and responsibility; the ethics of revenge; friendship, love, and affection; moral relativity; and the fundamental question of why one should be ethical in the first place. Bordun demonstrates how and why superhero comics can make a significant contribution to our conceptions of ethical behavior, personhood, and belonging.
