"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)“If you've ever felt lost in The Twilight Zone, this book isfor you. Then, again, when you read what these philosophers have tosay you may want to stay!"
-William Irwin, King's College
"The Twilight Zone smuggled philosophy onto television in theform of a series of ingenious mind-teasers, seizing the audience'simagination. Now Nol Carroll and Lester Hunt have puttogether a stimulating collection of papers that decipher thepuzzles and explore the philosophical themes. The result is a richand thoughtful re-appraisal of a rightly famous attempt to makedrama out of philosophy. Rod Serling would be tickled andproud."
-Colin McGinn, University of Miami
