In this episode we talk to Professor Jim Okapal (who suggested the title of this episode) about Aristotle, friendship, science fiction, and fantasy. In our discussion Jim elaborates on some of the ideas he developed in his essay “'In Search of ...' Friendship: What We Can Learn from Androids and Vulcans" (in The Ultimate Start Trek and Philosophy: The Search for Socrates edited by Kevin S. Decker and Jason T. Eberl).
