Green Lantern and Philosophy: No Evil Shall Escape This Book Paperback - 2011 - 1st Edition

by William Irwin (Editor); Jane Dryden (Editor); Mark D. White (Editor)


From the rear cover

Is Hal Jordan a murderer?
What kind of strength is willpower?
Do emotions help or hurt a Green Lantern?
Can a Green Lantern power ring do anything imaginable--and should we worry if it can?
How can insects, mathematical equations, and planets be Green Lanterns?

Green Lanterns and their awesome power rings inspire a sense of possibility and wonder that can last a lifetime. Anyone who dreams of how to make the world a better place can imagine ways to make that dream come true with a Green Lantern ring. Green Lantern and Philosophy shines an emerald light on the many philosophical questions raised in the comics, the films, and the animated series, tackling issues from Aristotle's view of the effect of emotions on virtue, to what Plato's tale of the Ring of Gyges tells us about Green Lanterns and the lust for power, to deciding who is the greatest Green Lantern of all time. So whether you're a fan of Hal Jordan, John Stewart, Guy Gardner, Kyle Rayner, or Alan Scott--and let's not forget Soranik Natu, Kilowog, Katma Tui, Salaak, Mogo, and even Sinestro--Green Lantern and Philosophy will bring enlightenment to help turn the blackest night into the brightest day!
