Heroes and Philosophy by William Irwin
When ordinary individuals in the TV show Heroes inexplicably develop superhuman abilities, they question who they are, struggle to cope with new responsibilities and decide whether to use their new power for good or for evil. Every episode is a philosophical quandary and Heroes and Philosophy is the first book to analyse what's going on.
