Beschreibung
"Countering the dystopic and the apocalyptic, Star Trek Philosophy introduces political philosophical reflections on peace, justice, and non-violence through dramatic plots in the utopian Star Trek Universe. By looking at a society where human beings have overcome war, poverty, hunger, and greed, Josâe-Antonio Orosco argues that we can think through the big questions in political philosophy and peace and justice studies by using Star Trek as a blueprint for a more just society. Using key insights from a global array of philosophers, thinkers, and activists, including Martin Luther King Jr., Cesar Chavez, Angela Davis, Martha Nussbaum, Johan Galtung, and Desmond Tutu, Orosco guides readers through different Star Trek episodes. Applying key concepts from peace and justice studies, political and moral philosophy, and intersectional theory throughout to reveal the radical potential and unique philosophical standpoint of each episode. In the Star Trek Universe, seemingly impossible realities, based on peace and justice exist indefinitely in a post-scarcity society marked by economic cooperation. Star Trek's Philosophy of Peace and Justice continues its bold utopian mission and brings new challenges to the field of peace and justice studies that center anti-racism and intersectional theory to encourage the exploration, over conquest, of our own galaxy"--
