Philosophy in The Twilight Zone cover

Utilizing a series of essays examining the broad philosophical concepts embedded in Rod Serling's series, The Twilight Zone, Philosophy in The Twilight Zone provides a platform for further philosophical discussion.

  • Features essays by eminent contemporary philosophers concerning the over-arching themes in The Twilight Zone, as well as in-depth discussions of particular episodes
  • Fuses popular cult entertainment with classical philosophical perspectives
  • Acts as a guide to unearthing larger questions - from human nature to the nature of reality and beyond - posed in the series
  • Includes substantial critical and biographical information on series creator Rob Serling

"The anthology's substantial entries offer the reader rigorous, lucid, and stylistically polished arguments about one of the best dramas ever to grace American television screens. This collection is, to invoke Serling's memorable prose style, worthy of one's perusal, consideration, and review." (Journal of the Fantastic in the Arts, 21 March 2011)

“It acts as a guide to unearthing larger questions—from human nature to the nature of reality and beyond—posed in the series.” (Gnist.no, June 2009)
