Description

The Expanse and Philosophy explores the philosophical universe of the critically acclaimed television show and Hugo Award-winning series of novels. Original essays by a diverse international panel of experts illuminate how essential philosophical concepts relate to the meticulously crafted world of The Expanse, engaging with topics such as transhumanism, belief, culture, environmental ethics, identity, colonialism, diaspora, racism, reality, and rhetoric. The Expanse series, covering the first six novels and five seasons of the television adaptation, provokes a multitude of moral, ethical, and philosophical queries. This book helps answer these questions and many more, delving into the socio-economic and geopolitical issues of Earth, Mars, and the Outer Planets Alliance. It offers fresh perspectives on the themes, characters, and storylines of The Expanse, exploring connections to thinkers such as Aristotle, Kant, Locke, Hannah Arendt, Wittgenstein, Descartes, and Nietzsche.
