Superman and Philosophy by William Irwin

Superman and Philosophy by William Irwin

Superman has thrilled millions for 75 years, with a legacy that transcends national, and generational borders, but is there more to "Man of Steel" than just your average mythic superhero in a cape? This book includes chapters that present an exploration of some of the deeper philosophical questions raised by Superman, the Last Son of Krypton.

"As can be noted from my comments above, any book that will make you think or react makes for an interesting read and ‘Superman And Philosophy’ succeeds in doing thatOne should always be glad that Superman sees himself as the good scout otherwise the DC Earth would truly be hell."  (SFCrowsnest.org.uk, 1 June 2013)

“And this delightfully appealing tome does exactly that…”  (Comics Review, 25 April 2013)
