Though the world of Star Trek is clearly set in the future, its attitudes, politics, and culture have always reflected the mores of today. Perhaps that’s why this phenomenal series has kept us fascinated, challenged, and inspired—as well as entertained—for nearly thirty-five years. Using episodes from all four Star Trek series, as well as examples from Plato, Aristotle, Sartre, and other great philosopher’s of the past, The Ethics of Star Trek explores the answers to these and other important ethical questions:

• Why is good stronger than evil

• If the Prime Directive is so inviolable, why does Kirk always seem to break it

• Would Nietzsche have made a good starship captain

• Are rational beings the only life-forms entitled to our respect

Join Dr. Judith Barad and Ed Robertson as they take the complex, intriguing, and often confusing subject of ethics and make it practical, understandable, and accesible—for this century and beyond!

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>
