Publisher's summary

24 and Philosophy is a book you just can't do without. It's all here, folks: the reason presidents trust him; how Jack cuts through the lies and ambiguities; why he puts his life on the line for others; and how he knows which knee cap to blow out to get that all-important next lead. With the help of 20 "24 crazed" philosophers, you'll figure out what makes this guy tick, and much much more.

Engaging, thought-provoking analysis of 24

Absolutely loved this. I've been a huge 24 fan since the early 2000s, and this audiobook explored Seasons 1-6 in unique ways while also teaching me about philosophical ideas and how they apply to the story, characters, etc.

Phenomenal stuff. I wish they would make an updated version that covers Seasons 7-9.
