Irwin, William
Housel, Rebecca
Wisnewski, J. Jeremy
Stephenie Meyer's wildly popular Twilight is a young adult vampire romance series, in which teenaged Bella falls for a vampire, Edward, and is drawn into his and his family's morally gray universe. Bella, Edward, and their family andfriends have faced countless dangers and philosophical dilemmas in the four novels of the series, and this is the first book to parse them. Twilight and Philosophy will answer these and many other questions: What do the struggles of Edward and his family of ‘vegetarian’ vampires to control their biological urge for human blood say about free will? Are vampires morally absolved if they kill only animals and not people? Why does Plato think that Bella should chooseJacob, a werewolf and rival for her affections? Should Edward use his naturalability to read minds? >From a feminist perspective, can Edward be a romantichero or is he just a stalker?
