The first look at the philosophy behind the Iron Man comics
and movies, timed for the release of Iron Man 2 in March
2010
On the surface, Iron Man appears to be a straightforward
superhero, another rich guy fighting crime with fancy gadgets. But
beneath the shiny armor and flashy technology lies Tony Stark,
brilliant inventor and eccentric playboy, struggling to balance his
desires, addictions, and relationships with his duties as the
Armored Avenger. Iron Man and Philosophy explores the many
philosophical issues that emerge from the essential conflicts found
in the decades of Iron Man stories in comics and movies. What kind
of moral compass does Tony Stark have? Is Iron Man responsible for
the death of Captain America after the Marvel Universe "Civil
War"? Should people like Stark run the world? How does
Tony's alcoholism impact his performance as Iron Man, and
what does it say about moral character? Ultimately, what can Iron
Man teach us about the role of technology in society?
As absorbing as Iron Man comic books and movies, Iron
Man and Philosophy:
* Gives you a new perspective on Iron Man characters,
story lines, and themes
* Shows what philosophical heavy hitters such as Aristotle,
Locke, and Heidegger can teach us about Tony Stark/Iron Man
* Considers issues such as addiction, personal responsibility,
the use of technology, and the role of government
Whether you've been reading the comic books for years or have
gotten into Iron Man through the movies, Iron Man and
Philosophy is a must-have companion for every fan.
