Note: Follow-up to Doctor Who and Philosophy. Cover blurb: “If you already love both Doctor Who and philosophy, this volume will remind you why. If you only know one or the other, this volume will open the door for you to enter a universe that is bigger (on the inside) than you ever realized before, as some of the most fascinating questions of all time—ones that have puzzled thinkers and viewers alike—are explored." “Abbott and Costello asked ‘Who’s on first?’ and honestly I still don’t know the answer. But, I do know that Doctor Who’s on fire and this book is a home run! Just like the TARDIS, this timely Time Lord tome looks tiny outside, but it’s got big ideas inside! Reading it even made ME feel smart!" “This fantastic collection of chapters is, much like the Doctor himself, deep, insightful and informative while also being accessible and great fun. Time paradoxes, selfhood, Dalek morality, Time Lord gender... every fan will find something entertaining and thought-provoking here. Whether you’ve already devoured Lewis and Smithka’s fascinating earlier volume, or are new to the wonders of Doctor Who and Philosophy, I heartily recommend this sparkling new book." “A comprehensive philosophical investigation and celebration of Whoniversal themes. If you plan to ever build a TARDIS, to navigate it through multiple worlds and times, to seek out new companions, and to find out what you can and cannot do, then this is the book for you." “Is Rose free to perform actions other than the ones she actually performs? Are Daleks inherently evil? Is the Twelfth Doctor inherently good? Can Clara be the same person across space and time? You’ll find philosophical issues surrounding these questions and others discussed in this entertaining and informative book. So, grab a handful of jelly babies and find a police box—preferably one big enough on the inside where you can fit a comfy reading chair." COURTLAND LEWIS and PAULA SMITHKA, both doctors of philosophy, co-edited the universally-acclaimed Doctor Who and Philosophy: Bigger on the Inside (2011). Court, who is now Head of Philosophy and Religious studies at Owensboro Community and Technical College, Kentucky, first came to philosophy through Doctor Who, after his brother tried to explain regeneration to him when the Fourth Doctor became the Fifth. Paula, now an associate professor of philosophy at the University of Southern Mississippi, suffered serious childhood deprivation—as an American growing up without cable, she missed her required shots of Doctor Who and has been desperately trying to make up for it ever since. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
