The Hunger Games and Philosophy: A Critique of Pure Treason by George A. Dunn, Nicolas Michaud, William Irwin, Andrew Zimmerman Jones
4.0
The Hunger Games and Philosophy: A Critique of Pure Treason is an interesting read. If you enjoyed The Hunger Games Trilogy, and you're interested in digging deeper into both philosophy and The Hunger Games, then this might be the book for you. For me, this volume was actually far more interesting than the trilogy itself. Topics from morality to Darwinian competition to Stoicism to Just-War theory and even identity issues are all discussed in this book. Most of the essays are well done. Some are a bit more dry than others.
Overall, it's well worth the read if you need to make connections between philosophy and pop culture, and especially if The Hunger Games is your thing.
