Star Trek's sci-fi utopia is one of the most beloved in fiction, and the Federation's philosophy defines exactly how it came to be.
The philosophy that lies at the heart of the Star Trek universe has an official philosophical name: Astro-Liberation.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Since its premiere in 1966, a key selling point of Star Trek has been its vision of the future; it has envisioned a world where humanity has finally addressed long-standing social issues, such as racism and poverty, and worked to create a utopia. Instead of working to obtain wealth and material possessions, humanity now works to better itself.
Star Trek's Philosophy Is Built on Alien Contact Although Captain Kirk does not go into great detail on what exactly comprises "Astro-Liberation," he equates it with the Federation's belief system - which gives readers a good idea of its definition.
Of course, the larger redefinition of priories involved in Astro-Liberation doesn't necessarily hinge on alien contact - humanity could achieve a similar shift in consciousness by, for example, confronting the present day in comparison to the totality of Earth's future - but it's fascinating that Star Trek's utopia is so tied to its sci-fi ambitions, and that the Iotans' mimicry of this necessitates technological progress as a step to societal enlightenment.
