episode of Star Trek was a great example of the tensions between Classical Greek and Chinese cultures. It showed both the Socratic belief that wisdom is knowing that you do not know, and the Confucian ideal that life is best lived while by following the example of the exemplary few. Oddly enough, this paper in itself is a metaphor, using the tensions in the Star Trek Episode to better understand Greek and Chinese philosophical beliefs.
