Ethics, political violence, punishment and popular culture form the main strands of J. Jeremy Wisnewski's philosophical work. His books include Understanding Torture, which examines the moral and conceptual problems surrounding torture, and The Politics of Agency, concerned with responsibility and the conditions under which people act. He has also edited or contributed to philosophy-and-pop-culture collections built around television, film and comics, using fictional situations to make questions about justice, identity and moral choice more immediate. Wisnewski's work ranges from accessible essays to more academic argument, but it repeatedly returns to what people can be held responsible for and how institutions justify coercion. Useful discovery links include applied ethics, political philosophy and popular philosophy. Readers looking for the more serious side of his bibliography should start with his work on torture and responsibility; the pop-culture collections offer a lighter route into similar problems.
