The Star Trek franchise is the quintessential philosophical text of the American century. This is reflected in the popularity of the series, its tremendous financial success, and more impressive, its loyal and devoted following.1 Interpreting Star Trek as philosophy2 with a broad American audience3 is consistent with Carlin Romano’s claim in America the Philosophical that US society is highly philosophical.4 Given that we are currently in the television age, it should not be surprising that political theory in the form of television-based fiction exists.5Star Trek does not simply reflect American political reasoning. It gives us insight into this reasoning.
