Philosophy in The Twilight Zone

"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)

"If you've ever felt lost in The Twilight Zone, this book is for you. Then, again, when you read what these philosophers have to say you may want to stay!"
–William Irwin, King's College

"The Twilight Zone smuggled philosophy onto television in the form of a series of ingenious mind-teasers, seizing the audience's imagination. Now Noёl Carroll and Lester Hunt have put together a stimulating collection of papers that decipher the puzzles and explore the philosophical themes. The result is a rich and thoughtful re-appraisal of a rightly famous attempt to make drama out of philosophy. Rod Serling would be tickled and proud."
–Colin McGinn, University of Miami
