“Daredevil nails a crucial difference between utilitarianism and deontology in Daredevil #36″

By Guttersnipe on December 5, 2021 • ( Leave a comment )

At the Comics Professor, friend of the Gutter Mark D. White writes about Daredevil Matt Murdock, Reed Richards, utilitarianism and deontology! “Matt asks a simple question—”What’s right?”—and then draws out the difference between what philosopher W.D.

The Cultural Gutter is a website dedicated to thoughtful writing about disreputable art. The site is updated every Thursday afternoon. Carol Borden, Angela Englert, Sachin Hingoo, alex MacFadyen, and Beth Watkins probe science fiction, draw out the best in comics, stare deeply into the screen, sink their fangs into horror, dally with romance, speedrun their brains on videogames and explore so much more. Our Guest Stars shine here. Thanks to Gutter aesthetic director Brian Kirby for all his swank art. Thanks to EJ Lee for providing the fantastic art we used in the Cultural Gutter book. The Cultural Gutter's signature nail polish, "Disreputable," was created by Andrea Evans of MPZ Cosmetics. We've migrated to a new server. We're adding in lost pictures and reformatting as fast as we can. Thanks for your patience with older posts! We do not accept unsolicited pitches. Follow us on Twitter and Facebook.
