![]() ![]() Author: Lewis Courtland Publisher: Blackie Robot come Bender o Calculon sono responsabili delle proprie (tremende) azioni come gli esseri umani? Quando Zoidberg mangia - con tanto di rutto - la bandiera della Terra davanti ai suoi attoniti abitanti, sta solo esprimendo liberamente sé stesso? È vero amore quello che Leela prova per Fry, nel momento in cui il corpo del ragazzo viene invaso da vermi che lo rendono più intelligente e sexy? Quando creò la serie animata Futurama, Matt Groening - il geniale papà dei Simpson - voleva soltanto prendere in giro le convenzioni del genere fantascientifico. Invece finì per dare vita a un universo complesso e governato da regole tutte sue. Ma le avventure siderali di umani, robot, alieni e aragoste giganti protagonisti del fortunato cartoon offrono formidabili spunti per capire anche il nostro mondo, che di certo non è l'unico possibile. La serie, come questo libro, è un divertentissimo e rigoroso invito ad affrontare dei viaggi galattici dentro sé stessi, per provare a dare risposta alle questioni filosofiche più attuali ed eterne che ci siano. € 19,00
Scontato: € 18,05

![]() ![]() Author: Lewis Courtland (EDT), Smithka Paula (EDT) Publisher: Open Court Pub Co More Doctor Who and Philosophy is a completely new collection of chapters, additional toDoctor Who and Philosophy (2010), by the same editors. Since that first Doctor Who and Philosophy, much has happened in the Whoniverse: a new and controversial regeneration of the Doctor, multiple new companions, a few creepy new enemies of both the Doctor and planet Earth. New questions have been raised and new questioners have come along, so there are plenty of new topics for philosophical scrutiny. Is the impossible” girl really impossible? Is there anything wrong with an inter-species lesbian relationship (the kids weren’t quite ready for that in 1963, but no one blinks an eye in 2015)? Can it really be right for the Doctor to lie and to selectively forget? We even have two authors who have figured out how to build a TARDIS instructions included! An added feature of this awesome new volume is that the editors have reached out to insiders ofWho fandom, people who run hugely successful Who conventions, play inWho-inspired bands, and run wildly popular podcasts and websites, to share their privileged insights into why the Doctor is so philosophically deep. € 17,90

![]() ![]() Author: Lewis Courtland (EDT), Young Shaun P. (EDT) Publisher: Pgw Futurama is a quirky, animated sitcom created by Simpson’s mastermind Matt Groening. Since it first aired on the FOX network from 1999 to 2003, its many dedicated fans have created websites and newsletters and organized Comic-Con meetups and letter-writing campaigns in hopes of learning the further adventures of its stars. In 2009 Futurama announced new episodes and returned to Comedy Central. Futurama and Philosophy meets this new surge of interest, letting philosophers and Futurama fans compare notes about time travel, alternate universes, evolution, artificial intelligence, and the ethical dilemmas of suicide booths, ?mad” scientists like Farnsworth, and robots like Bender who aspire to bad taste. Would ?interplanetary golf” really be possible? Why is it that a fossilized dog is really ?man’s best friend”? What is going on inside Dr. Zoidberg’s Freedom Lesson? Fans of the show and those who appreciate the cosmic, existential framework in which it exists gain much from this intriguing book. € 15,30

![]() ![]() Author: Lewis Courtland (EDT), Smithka Paula (EDT) Publisher: Open Court Pub Co 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. They discuss, among other topics, the Doctor's philosophy of science, the ethics of a universe with millions of intelligent species, what makes one life-form more important than another, whether time travelers can change history, and how the Doctor Who TV show is changing the world we live in. The chapters draw freely on both the classic series (1963?1989) and the new series. The book includes a collection of entertaining and insightful quotes from Doctor Who plus a complete list of episodes and companions. € 19,60
