I didn't agree to few observations from Jim and Pam portion. But eh. Good book overall.

As a huge NOT FAN of Twilight, this book was still pretty interesting.

Another book in the Blackwell Philosophy and pop Culture Series focusing on the X-Men. This book uses the X-Men comics and movies to introduce several philosophical concepts. Different authors touch on topics such as the meaning of being a person or mutant and what we can know about mutants - an idea that easily extrapolates to classes or cultures. Others touch on morality, identity, women's issues, synthetic biology, among others.

Authors will help you see Magneto's point of view, and why Magneto and Xavier can maintain a strong friendship in spite of significant philosophical differences. What is the human role, and what is the meaning of race.

As usual, I've found all of these books easy to read and interesting. They each introduce philosophical concepts using icons of pop culture making them easy-to understand and to remember.

In general, I thought this book had better philosophy than others, I found it more interesting. A couple of authors seemed to talk more about the X-Men than of philosophy, but they were interesting to read as well.
