Description
Serial Killers - Philosophy for Everyone explores our fascination with mass-murderers and delves into existential, ethical, and political questions through an examination of real and fictional serial killers.
The book presents new philosophical theories about serial killing, relating them to the minds of serial killers and incorporating insights from philosophers, academics, crime writers, and police officers. It also offers a unique phenomenological examination of the writings of the Zodiac Killer and includes an account of the disappearance of one of Ted Bundy's victims.
Through its exploration of grisly death, philosophy comes alive in this thought-provoking investigation into our profound intrigue with mass-murderers.
