520    Ender's Game, Orson Scott Card's award-winning 1985 novel,
       has been discovered and rediscovered by generations of 
       science fiction fans and young adult readers, banned and 
       challenged in schools, assigned in high school English 
       classes, and adopted as reading by the US Marine Corps. 
       Ender's Game and its sequels explores rich themes the 
       violence and cruelty of children, the role of empathy in 
       war, and the balance of individual dignity and the social 
       good with compelling elements of a coming-of-age story and
       exciting and immersive battle scenes. Ender's Game and 
       Philosophy brings together over thirty philosophers to 
       engage in wide-ranging discussion on the troubling, 
       exciting, and fascinating issues raised in and amidst the 
       excitement and fear of Orson Scott Card's novels and Gavin
       Hood's film. Authors address issues such as:the 
       justifiability of pre-emptive strikes, how Ender's 
       disconnected and dispassionate violence is mirrored in 
       today's drone warfare, whether the end of saving the 
       species can justify the most brutal means, the 
       justifiability of lies and deception in wartimes, how 
       military schools produce training in virtue, how Ender as 
       the good student" is held to a different educational 
       standard, which rules can be broken in games and which 
       cannot, Ender's world as a mirror of our own surveillance 
       society, the moral hazards of child warriors, the value of
       Ender's ability to sympathize with his enemies, the 
       meaning of a hive-mind," the limits of our ability to 
       relate to one, the relationship between Ender's story and 
       Card's Mormonism. The authors of Ender's Game and 
       Philosophy challenge readers to confront and work through 
       the conceptual and emotional challenges that Ender's Game 
       presents, bringing a new light on the idea of a just war, 
       the virtues of the soldier, the nature of childhood, the 
       social value and moral corruption of lies and deception, 
       the practices of education and of leadership, and the 
       serious work of playing games.
