"For Trekkies everywhere, a fascinating look at the philosophy of Star Trek, from Kirk and Spock to Janeway and Seven of Nine

For four decades, Star Trek has been the obsession of millions of fans. But real Trekkies know that the show is more than just riveting entertainment. Its complex moral dilemmas present a view of the future that holds important truths for us in the present. Drawing on episodes from all four Star Trek generations, this unique book explores the ethics of the series in relation to the theories of the world's great philosophers. Questions about good and evil, right and wrong, power and corruption are discussed in language that,is both readable and compelling as the authors show, how the program has evolved over the years to address society's changing values. For this century and beyond, The Ethics of ""Star Trek"" is an intriguing look at a brilliantly imagined-world and what it can teach us about how to live."

Reviews for Ethics of Star Trek

This text offers secondary level teachers, teacher candidates (undergraduate and graduate), teacher educators and curriculum developers a wealth of information regarding the changing and challenging faces of adolescents and literacy. Steeped in thorough research and supported by useful bibliographies and real world examples from actual practitioners and classrooms, this text provides 20 chapters of rich, thoughtful insights from interpretations of multiples studies by long-standing leaders in the field of literacy. Long overdue, this text focused on areas of literacy teaching and learning specifically for an age group that continually redefines itself. -- Education Review [An] excellent book....a valuable resource for preservice upper-division middle school and secondary school education majors and text for graduate students in reading, literacy, and curriculum/instruction classes that focus on this topic....middle school/secondary school teachers who are involved with literacy education will find this book a very valuable resource....Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above. -- Choice <br> As an English educator, reading this book reinforced some of my current views but also exposed me to issues I haven't considered in the past. Through reflecting on Adolescent Literacy Research and Practice, I've had my opportunity to re-visit my understanding of Adolescent Literacy; this experience will certainly impact my own research and classroom practice. -- English Quarterly <br>
