Review: The Ultimate Star Trek and Philosophy: The Search for Socrates

The Ultimate Star Trek and Philosophy: The Search for Socrates The Ultimate Star Trek and Philosophy: The Search for Socrates by William Irwin
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A good overview of how western philosophy has been explored in the Star Trek series. This book is best appreciated by someone who has seen the various movies, the original series, next generation, deep space nine, voyager, and enterprise. This book would make an interesting college intro or seminar philosophy class. Topics discussed: religion, humanism, capitalism, communism, utilitarianism, consciousness, and many more.
