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. Doctor Who and Philosophy contains contributions from some of the sharpest minds in philosophy. The book examines issues of personal identity and how the Doctor provides valuable insights into how we should understand 'who' we are. It discusses Doctor Who's representation of science, logic, speciesism, perception, physics, causation and ethics. In addition, there is a collection of insightful quotes from the classic and new series of Doctor Who, sure to provide a wealth of philosophical knowledge that is both enlightening and entertaining. The volume also contains a complete list of episodes and companions, so the reader can look back on all of the Doctor's adventures and friends.
