Ender's Game, Orson Scott Card's award-winning 1985 novel, has been
discovered and rediscovered by generations of science fiction fans,
even being adopted as reading by the U.S. Marine Corps. Ender's
Game and its sequels explore rich themes -- the violence and
cruelty of children, the role of empathy in war, and the balance of
individual dignity and the social good -- with compelling elements
of a coming-of-age story. Ender's Game and Philosophy brings
together over 30 philosophers to engage in wide-ranging discussion
on issues such as: the justifiability of pre-emptive strikes; how
Ender's disconnected and dispassionate violence is mirrored in
today's drone warfare; whether the end of saving the species can
justify the most brutal means; the justifiability of lies and
deception in wartime, and how military schools produce training in
virtue. The authors of Ender's Game and Philosophy challenge
readers to confront the challenges that Ender's Game presents,
bringing new insights to the idea of a just war, the virtues of the
soldier, the nature of childhood, and the serious work of playing
games.
