Publisher's summary

In The Virtues of Captain America, philosopher and long-time comics fan Mark D. White shows us that this fictional superhero's "old-fashioned" moral code is exactly what we need today to restore kindness and respect in our personal and civic lives.

Now in its second edition, The Virtues of Captain America is updated to include all the new developments in Captain America's saga. This edition also offers new material on Sam Wilson—formerly Captain America's partner the Falcon who recently became Captain America himself—and how his interpretation of the role compares to Steve Rogers's.

The Virtues of Captain America examines the moral and political philosophy behind eighty years of Captain America comics and movies; demonstrates that the core principles and judgment exhibited by Captain America in the 1940s remain relevant in the twenty-first century; and illustrates how Captain America stands for the basic ideals of America, not its politics or government.

The second edition of The Virtues of Captain America remains a must-listen for everyone wanting to make ethical decisions in complex real-world situations and tackle the personal and political issues of today with integrity and respect.
