In this highly original book, Russell Blackford discusses the intersection of science fiction and humanity’s moral imagination.

Con ellas ha valido casi todo: desde borrar su nombre y su historia hasta la violencia sexual.

The reason-based attempt to answer questions about what we morally ought to do.What are philosophers (including ethicists) like? Spock. Yes, the one from Star Trek with the pointy ears.
