Book excerpt: 24 and philosophy is a book you just can't do without. It's all here, folks: the reason Presidents trust him; how Jack cuts through the lies and ambiguities; why he puts his life on the line for others; and how he knows which knee cap to blow out to get that all-important next lead. With the help of twenty "24 crazed" philosophers, you'll figure out what makes this guy tick, and much much more. This book is a witty, but philosophical exploration of the popular television series 24, now in its sixth season. It addresses pressing ethical issues relating to torture, terrorism and warfare. It raises fascinating questions about knowledge, loyalty, and suspicion. It explores in-depth the character and behaviour of Jack Bauer. It is written by philosophers who are all serious fans of the show.
