Beschreibungen
<p>The Absolute, philosophized most saliently about by Georg Hegel, encompasses the entirety of reality. The absolute (reality) is composed of five dimensions – height, length, width, time, and <i>justice</i>. The five dimensions operate dialectically, and the normative values of reality inhere within the fifth dimension (<i>justic</i>e) – hard, soft, moral, ethical, yellow, etc. <i>ad infinitum</i>. The normative values from the fifth dimension (<i>justice</i>), in combination with the brain, comprise the human mind. With the issues of climate change, world-wide biosphere destruction, nuclear weapons, international trade regimes, humanity has created the phenomenon of global politics – thereby changing the fifth dimension. The argument in this volume is that the broadcast iterations of Star Trek allow us to comprehend significant aspects of <i>justice</i> and the politics of globalism – created through the advent of science, technology, engineering, etc. The creators of Star Trek hold that nationalism is a psychological pathology and internationalism is rationality.</p>
