The Philosophy of Space Exploration (Index)

Tweet

I have written quite a few pieces about the philosophy and ethics of space exploration over the past 12 months. I am very interested in the idea that space exploration can represent a long-term utopian project for humanity. I expect this series will continue to grow so I thought it might be useful to collect them together in one place. Enjoy!

• The Final Frontier: Space Exploration as a Utopian Project

• The Moral Duty to Explore Space (1): The Positive Case

• The Moral Duty to Explore Space (2): Criticisms and Replies

• The Intellectual Case for Manned Space Exploration

• Thomas Hobbes in Space: The Problem of Intergalactic Warre

I have also recorded some podcasts that touch cover the philosophy and ethics of space exploration:

• Episode #37 - Yorke on the Philosophy of Utopianism

• Episode #38 - Schwartz on the Ethics of Space Exploration
