Not only is Doctor Who the longest-running science fiction television show in history- but it has also been translated into numerous languages- broadcast around the world- and referred to as the way of the future by some British political leaders. The old (or Classic) Doctor Who series built up a loyal American cult following- with regular conventions and other activities. The new series- relaunched in 2005- has emerged from culthood into mass awareness- with a steadily growing viewership and major sales of DVDs. The current series- featuring the Eleventh Doctor- Matt Smith- is breaking all earlier records- in both the UK and the US.**In Doctor Who and Philosophy- a team of mostly human philosophers (who are also fans) looks at the deeper issues raised by the Doctor*s mind-blowing adventures. The book examines issues of personal identity- and explains how the Doctor provides valuable insights into understanding who we are. The volume also discusses Doctor Whos representation of science- logic- speciesism- perception- physics- and causation. A section on ethics provides both a nice introduction to ethics and also some important insights into how the Doctor tells us to live the good life. In addition- two chapters deal with human existence and aesthetics. ****Features:*** Two bonuses.
