Meta Treks: A Star Trek Philosophy Podcast

Enterprise Season 3 - Essential Trek Philosophy.   Season three of Enterprise, with its Xindi story arc, is firmly situated in the post-9/11 era, concentrating principally on the ethics of justified warfare as a response to acts of terrorism. In this episode of Meta Treks, hosts Mike Morrison and Zachary Fruhling discuss the philosophical themes and their top picks for Essential Trek Philosophy from season three of Enterprise. From consequentalist considerations about preemptive strikes to duplicate crew members and issues of personal identity, season three of Enterprise balances global political relevance, a season-length story arc, and episodic treatment of more abstract philosophical issues.   Chapters  Welcome to Episode 52 (00:01:06)  2016 Retrospective (00:02:12)  Initial Thoughts on Enterprise Season 3 (00:11:47)  Similitude (00:14:58)  Chosen Realm (00:25:48)  North Star (00:37:53)  E2 (00:45:04)  Twilight (00:53:18)  Honorable Mentions (00:58:13)  Final Thoughts (01:07:35)   Hosts Mike Morrison an
