Star journey philosophically

Live long, think well, flourish. Consider this book as a guide for Starfleet to explore a type of knowledge that cannot be accessed through the desktop computer and recovery system. The philosophical adventurers also faced some of the most curious problems in the world of Star Trek at the "final frontier" of the mind and spirit. By reviewing more than seven hundred hours of Star Trek in television series and feature films, a brave crew of twenty-one professional philosophers went beyond some familiar philosophical dilemmas that trouble starship captains from Archer to Kirk to Janeway. Instead; they charted a course for thinking about a variety of topics such as: * How can two people from different planets and cultural backgrounds communicate together? * What is the value in the Stoic temperament? * Was it right for Odo to work for the Cardassians during the occupation of Bajor? * Is it contradictory to be morally Ferengi? * Is it better to live in the Union or to be absorbed by the Borg collective?
