Michele and Duncan Barrett are mother and son - she a distinguished social theorist now working in literary and cultural studies, he a writer still in his teens. Together they take "Star Trek" - the TV series, films, and related projects - and explore it for what it tells us (and asks) about being human. From the progressive politics that underpinned the original program to the declining faith in rationalism that haunts "Deep Space Nine" and "Voyager," the "Star Trek" story has grappled with powerful philosophical and social issues. And throughout its thirty-year history, "Star Trek" has explored its themes through the metaphors of Western maritime exploration. Yet unlike the voyagers of earlier centuries, its crews have sailed not by sea but by galaxy. But in search of what? As Michele and Duncan Barrett persuasively demonstrate here, the continuing voyage of "Star Trek" is a quest not for new lands but for new answers: what does it mean to be human? Witten for both the true Trekker and the complete novice, "Star Trek: The Human Frontier" is that rare work of cultural studies, informed by the knowledge of literature, social thought, and popular culture.

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.
