Stephen King and Philosophy Paperback / softback

Edited by Jacob M. Held

Part of the Great Authors and Philosophy series

Paperback / softback

Description

Haunting us with such unforgettable stories as The Shining, The Shawshank Redemption, Salem's Lot, Carrie, The Green Mile, and Pet Sematary, Stephen King has been an anchor of American horror, science fiction, psychological thrillers, and suspense for more than forty years.

His characters have brought chills to our spines and challenged our notions of reality while leaving us in awe of the perseverance of the human spirit.

The first book in the new Great Authors and Philosophy series, Stephen King and Philosophy reveals some of the deeper issues raised by King's work.

From retribution, freedom, and moral relativity, to death and insanity, the chapters of this book expose how King's stories access the questions and fears that haunt each of us in the middle of the night. Contributions by Katherine Allen, Randall E. Auxier, Charles Bane, Matthew Butkus, Kellye Byal, Cam Cobb, Timothy Dale, Paul R.

Daniels, Joseph J. Foy, Bertha Alvarez Manninen, Tuomas W. Manninen, Garret Merriam, Michael K. Potter, and C. Taylor Sutton
