Since its viscerally shocking screen entrance through the chest of Kane (John Hurt).
Xenomorph burst into our public consciousness. Despite nearly four decades passing since
the original 1979 instalment, with three movie sequels, a prequel series, countless books,
comics, and a spin-off video game franchise, it shows an unearthly resilience to being blown
out of our psychological airlock.
Alien and Philosophy presents 19 chapters that explore the underlying questions raised by
the film series that continues to terrify and fascinate us. Written by acclaimed scholars of
philosophy and pop culture, topics include H.R. Giger s aesthetics, the literary influences of
H.P. Lovecraft. the ethics of warfare and bio-weaponry, corporate androids and personhood.
feminism, dystopian politics, and the economics of the future. Confronting some of
humanity s deepest hopes and fears. Alien and Philosophy offers enlightening philosophical
insights gleaned from one of the most successful and influential horror sci-fi franchises of
contemporary times.
