On episode 216, we welcome Mark White to discuss the philosophy of Captain America, how his moral perfectionism informed his decisions and affected him afterward, the clash of morals in his rivalry with Iron Man, why being hard on himself benefited his community, the similarities and differences of deontology and utilitarianism, if we can consider his stubbornness as a moral failing, the qualities he embodied when he was recreated as a fascist, why algorithms don’t excuse us from having to make moral choices, and why we hope for others not to have the same degree of moral responsibility that Captain America has.

White is a Professor of Philosophy at the College of Staten Island/CUNY who has written widely on superheroes and philosophy, including in the books Batman and Ethics and the A Philosopher Reads… series, as well as contributions to many volumes in the Blackwell Philosophy and Pop Culture series.
