Eberl (Indiana U.-Purdue U. Indianapolis) explores the television show Battlestar Galactica from a purely philosophical standpoint, asking the important question, "What's the point of living after your world has been destroyed?" Many of the show's themes revolve around existential and moral dilemmas and touch upon many basic philosophical discussions, such as whether or not man is a truly flawed creation. This is an unusual perspective that should be enjoyed by both philosophy students and fans of the TV show.
