Summary

Stephenie Meyer's wildly popular Twilight is a young adult  vampire romance series, in which teenaged Bella  falls for a vampire, Edward, and is drawn into his and his family's  morally gray universe. Bella, Edward, and their family and  friends have faced countless dangers and philosophical dilemmas in  the four novels of the series, and this is the first book to  parse them. Twilight and  Philosophy will answer these  and many other questions:     What do the struggles of Edward and his family of  "vegetarian" vampires to control their biological urge for human  blood say about free will?  Are vampires morally absolved if they kill only animals and not  people?  Why does Plato think that Bella should choose Jacob, a werewolf  and rival for her affections?  Should Edward use his natural ability to read minds?  From a feminist perspective, can Edward be a romantic hero or  is he just a stalker?
