Battlestar Galactica and PhilosophyInterview: Jason Eberl, editor of Battlestar Galactica and Philosophy, joins us to talk about this new collection and some of the topics and issues explored by the contributors, actual philosophers and students of philosophy who were also either huge fans of the show, or curious about the depths.

Can studying Galactica draw people into studying philosophy and into a deeper examination of the human (and Cylon) condition? Check out the book!
