HTML:<p><b>PHILOSOPHY/POP CULTURE</b></p> <p><i>"The contributors to</i> Battlestar Galactica and Philosophy <i>strive to make things relevant to fans of the show, and they put their information out in a way that is accessible to folks who wouldn't know Heidegger from Heineken."</i></p> <p>Green Man Review, Spring 2009</p> <p><i>"The writers are well versed in their subjects...The book is most effective at making the reader rethink what they thought they knew."</i></p> <p><i>Neo-opsis</i></p> <p>What's the point of living after your world has been destroyed? This is one of many questions raised by the Sci-Fi Channel's critically acclaimed series <i>Battlestar Galactica</i>. More than just an action-packed "space opera," each episode offers a dramatic character study of the human survivors and their Cylon pursuers as they confront existential, moral, metaphysical, theological, and political crises.</p> <p>This volume addresses some of the key questions to which the Colonials won't find easy answers, even when they reach Earth: Are Cylons persons? Is Baltar's scientific worldview superior to Six's religious faith? Can Starbuck be free if she has a special destiny? Is it ethical to cut one's losses and leave people behind? Is collaboration with the enemy ever the right move? Is humanity a "flawed creation?" Should we share the Cylon goal of "transhumanism?" Is it really a big deal that Starbuck's a woman?</p>.
