The Hunger Games and Philosophy

Can committing murder for self-preservation be considered moral? Can something as simple as a song spark a revolution? Can philosophy help Katniss choose between Peeta and Gale? What is better: a secure totalitarian government or a fragile democracy? Can entertainment be dangerous? Based on these and many other questions, a group of philosophers seeks to analyze the themes and motives that made the Hunger Games trilogy one of the greatest dystopias of our time.
