Description - Futurama and Philosophy by Courtland Lewis

Futurama is a quirky, animated sitcom created by Simpson's mastermind, Matt Groening. It follows the adventures of a pizza delivery man transported far, far into a cosmic future of witty, sarcastic robots and one-eyed femme fatales. In Futurama and Philosophy twenty-first-century philosophers and Futurama fans can compare notes about time travel, alternate universes, the evolution of life, artificial intelligence, and the ethical dilemmas of suicide booths, "mad" scientists like Farnsworth and robots like Bender who aspire to bad taste and "kiss-my-metal-ass" rudeness. 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? Why is Bender, in fact, a responsible moral being? Is Death Intrinsically Bad? And what's with the "Seriously Freaked Up Nature of Morality" exhibited in the show?
