Using examples from the shows, this witty and absorbing book looks at the "Star Trek" series and explores a broad spectrum of philosophical ideas and theories, including "personhood"--the nature of a person, of minds, of consciousness, and of the emotions; the nature and issue of what does or does not matter to persons in their continued survival; and the question of the proper treatment of nonhumans.
