Star Trek Marathon on KOFY TV20 Segment 10

Ed Robertson of TV Confidential joins Brendan Moran of KOFY TV20 in marking the arrival of Star Trek: The Exhibition: Where Science Meets Science Fiction to the Tech Museum of Innovation in San Jose, California by co-hosting an eight-hour marathon of episodes from the original Star Trek series. In this segment, Ed and Brendan talk some more about "The Ethics of Star Trek" (HarperCollins, 2000), the book that Ed co-wrote with Indiana State University ethics professor Judith Barad that uses examples from the first four Star Trek series to introduce the ideas of Plato, Aristotle, Sartre, Kant and other great philosophers to a mainstream audience.
