introduction
The Philosophic Enterprise xiii
parti
New Life, New Civilizations 1
In which we investigate the nature and proper
treatment of life, wherever it may be found
chapter 1 Prime Suspects 3
In which we examine aliens, from the Horta to
Vulcans to the Children of Tama Is it better to
be ruled by logic or by emotion? What does it
mean to be human, or to be a person? How do
Starfleet personnel know new life when they
meet it? Are there cognitive and linguistic uni-
versals?
chapter 2 Insufficient Data 41
In which we examine computers, androids, exo-
comps, nanites, and holograms, but especially
Lieutenant Commander Data Is artificial life
possible? Artificial intelligence? Could there be
artificial persons? Artificial humans? What rea-
sons are there for denying these possibilities?
What is a fair test of artificial intelligence or
sentience?
ix t e ix t 3
chapter 3 Pro Creation 71
In which we reply to the many objections to ar-
tificial personhood Can a machine like Data
have creativity, independence, or free will? Can
a machine understand natural language? Or
feel, or be emotional, or mistaken, or conscious?
part II
Matters of Survival 121
In which we catalogue and investigate the many
unusual processes and transformations that peo-
ple undergo in Star Tre
chapter 4 To Beam or Not to Beam? 123
In which we examine the transporter What ex-
actly does it do? Is it rational for Kirk to un-
dergo teletransport in the expectation that he,
Kirk, will survive it? Roger Korby, Vedek
Bareil, and Janice Lester help us decide
chapter 5 Personal Growth 163
In which we examine the exotic Is Jadzia Dax
identical to Curzon Dax? What happened to
Lieutenant William T Riker when he split?
What happened to Tuvok and Neelix when
they fused? Is it rational to transform yourself
in the transporter or on the holodeck? What
happened to Kirk when he split?
corvtervts
chapter 6 Temporal Distortions 197 ,
In which we examine time travel Is it possible?
: i ••*
Can a time traveler change history? Can you -
meet your past or future self? Does knowledge
of the future destroy individual freedom?
Epilogue: The Future
