Synopsis
The first look at the philosophy behind the Green Lantern comics--timed for the release of the Green Lantern movie in June 2011 The most recent Green Lantern series-- Blackest Night --propelled GL to be the top-selling comic series for more than a year, the latest twist in seven decades of Green Lantern adventures. This book sheds light on the deep philosophical issues that emerge from the Green Lantern Corps's stories and characters, from what Plato's tale of the Ring of Gyges tells us about the Green Lantern ring and the desire for power to whether willpower is the most important strength to who is the greatest Green Lantern of all time. Gives you a new perspective on Green Lantern characters, story lines, and themes Shows what philosophical heavy hitters such as Aristotle, Descartes, and Kant can teach us about members of the Green Lantern Corp and their world Answers your most pressing Green Lantern questions, including: What motivates Hal Jordan to be a Green Lantern? Does the Blackest Night force us to confront old male/female stereotypes? What is the basis for moral judgment in the Green Lantern Corps? Is Hal Jordan a murderer? Whether you're a new fan or an elder from Oa, Green Lantern and Philosophy is a must-have companion., Is Hal Jordan a murderer? What kind of strength is willpower? Do emotions help or hurt a Green Lantern? Can a Green Lantern power ring do anything imaginable and should we worry if it can? How can insects, mathematical equations, and planets be Green Lanterns? Green Lanterns and their awesome power rings inspire a sense of possibility and wonder that can last a lifetime. Anyone who dreams of how to make the world a better place can imagine ways to make that dream come true with a Green Lantern ring. Green Lantern and Philosophy shines an emerald light on the many philosophical questions raised in the comics, the films, and the animated series, tackling issues from Aristotles view of the effect of emotions on virtue, to what Platos tale of the Ring of Gyges tells us about Green Lanterns and the lust for power, to deciding who is the greatest Green Lantern of all time. So whether youre a fan of Hal Jordan, John Stewart, Guy Gardner, Kyle Rayner, or Alan Scott and lets not forget Soranik Natu, Kilowog, Katma Tui, Salaak, Mogo, and even Sinestro Green Lantern and Philosophy will bring enlightenment to help turn the blackest night into the brightest day!, The Green Lantern Corps is an intergalactic police force comprised of members from different species on different worlds who work together to ensure peace and order in the universe. Hal Jordan and his character will star in the forthcoming movie (played by Ryan Reynolds).
