Gonzalez, with wit and wisdom, explains how Star Trek exhibits central elements of the absolute. He describes how themes and ethos central to the show display the concept beautifully. For instance, the show posits that people must possess the correct attitudes in order to bring about an ideal society: a commitment to social justice; an unyielding commitment to the truth; and a similar commitment to scientific, intellectual discovery. These characteristics serve as perfect embodiments of Hegel’s conceptualization, and Gonzalez's analysis is sharp and exacting. 2020-05-14T02:21:49Z 2020-05-14T02:21:49Z 2017 Book 9783319477947 http://repository.vnu.edu.vn/handle/VNU_123/87515 en © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2017 122 p. application/pdf Palgrave Macmillan |
