| Description: |
The spirit of exploration that characterizes "Star Trek"'s many television and cinematic incarnations is also the driving force behind philosophical inquiry throughout human history. This book features essays that follow "Star Trek"'s inspiration to reach out to the farthest frontiers the mind may reach, while also delving into the human essence. |
| Synopsis: |
Philosophy and space travel are characterized by the same fundamental purpose: exploration. An essential guide for both philosophers and Trekkers, Star Trek and Philosophy combines a philosophical spirit of inquiry with the beloved television and film series to consider questions not only about the scientific prospects of interstellar travel but also the inward journey to examine the human condition. The expansive topics range from the possibilities for communication among different cultural backgrounds to questions about the stoic temperament exhibited by Vulcans to Ferengi business practices. Specifically chosen to break new ground in exploring the philosophical dimensions of Star Trek, these articles boldly go where no philosopher has gone before. |
