Is Marco Inaros a terrorist? Can people who look and sound different, like Earthers and Belters, ever get along? What does "Beltalowda" really mean? Should science be subject to moral rules? Who is sovereign in space? In The Expanse, the hit television show and Hugo award-winning novel series, humanitys colonization of the solar system has brought with it a desire for power and unprecedented social and economic consequences. Unforgettable characters face harrowing choices in a near future in which basic necessities like food and air are scarce resources, corporate greed runs amok, and intense violence is commonplace. Yet amidst the turmoil, a team of Earthers, Martians, and the people of the Outer Planets forge a family and help each other carry burdens both large and small. Confronting existential issues with the urgency of a rogue asteroid response, The Expanse and Philosophy delves into questions of good and evil, the morality of space expansion, the nature of the sublime, the practice of politics, the intersectional construction of personal identity, and more. Original essays from a diverse group of scholars peer into the protomolecule and out through the Ring Gatestaking you on a philosophical journey with Miller, Holden, Amos, Naomi, Avasarala, and Bobbie as they touch down on Earth, the Outer Planets, and Ilus. Featuring a foreword from The Expanse creator James S. A. Corey, "The Expanse and Philosophy"offers an explosive investigation into how science fiction can help shape the future of humanity.
