| book description |
In Avengers Infinity Saga and Philosophy, philosophers explore the momentous issues and the fascinating puzzles raised by Marvel’s compelling series of movies: ◠Is the Thanos snap truly an answer to overpopulation and famine, or is it simply indefensible mass murder on a cosmic scale? ◠Are the Avengers who try to stop Thanos dishing out justice or merely fighting a man who is himself just? ◠Captain America or Tony Stark—which leader holds the key to a civilized society? ◠Dr. Strange claims to sees 14,000,605 possible futures, in one of which Thanos is defeated. What does this tell us about the true nature of reality? ◠Sometimes your best just isn’t enough. How can we cope with inevitability? ◠How can the Soul Stone and the Binding of Isaac by Abraham help us understand the Infinity War saga? ◠Is Thanos a utilitarian? And if so, is his utilitarian calculus logically sound? ◠Would it be possible for a group like the Avengers to amass enormous power to fight for humankind, without themselves becoming a corrupt ruling class? ◠Can the past Nebula shooting the future Nebula cause her to cease to exist? Can you change the future by communicating with yourself or your family in the past? ◠Can Thanos be seen as the epitome of non-self-serving behavior, or is Thanos masking his own egoism with the lie that his altruistic mission is to bring the universe into balance? ◠Does Thanos show us the danger of living by an absolute moral compass, which allows us to see only what we believe to be “the right†with no variations or nuances?
