Produktbeskrivning
In The Virtues of Captain America, philosopher and long-time comics fan Mark D. White shows us that this fictional superhero''s “old-fashioned” moral code is exactly what we need today to restore kindness and respect in our personal and civic lives. Presenting Captain America''s personal morality within a virtue ethics framework, the book opens with an introduction to basic concepts in moral and political philosophy and addresses issues surrounding the use of fictional characters as role models.
The following chapters examine Captain America in detail, exploring the individual virtues that Cap exemplifies, the qualities that describe his moral character, his particular brand of patriotism, his ongoing battle with fascism, his personal vision of the “American Dream,” his moral integrity and sense of honor, and much more.
Now in its second edition, The Virtues of Captain America is updated to include all the new developments in Captain America''s saga, including new examples from the last ten years of Captain America''s appearances in Marvel Comics. New coverage of the recent “Secret Empire” storyline, in which Captain America was brainwashed by the fascist organization Hydra, features new sections examining the nature of fascism and how Captain America''s character and virtues were affected by the change.
This edition also offers new material on Sam Wilson—formerly Captain America''s partner the Falcon who recently became Captain America himself—and how his interpretation of the role compares to Steve Rogers''. Showing how we can be better people if we pay attention to the choices made by the Sentinel of Liberty, The Virtues of Captain America:
- Examines the moral and political philosophy behind 80 years of Captain America comics and movies in a light-hearted, often humorous tone
- Demonstrates that the core principles and judgment exhibited by Captain America in the 1940s remain relevant in the twenty-first century
- Describes the basic themes of Captain America''s ethics, such as courage, humility, perseverance, honesty, and loyalty
- Illustrates how Captain America stands for the basic ideals of America, not its politics or government
