dbo:abstract
  • Surak és un personatge de l'univers de fictici de Star Trek. És el filòsof més important en la història dels vulcanians i visqué 1800 anys abans de la formació de la Federació Unida de Planetes. Per llavors els vulcanians eren éssers emocionals, molt més que els humans i això comportava que estiguessin en guerra contínuament fins a portar-los pràcticament a la seva destrucció. Surak, després de molts dies de pelegrinatge pel desset arribà a la conclusió que l'únic camí per la salvació era l'autocontrol, deixar de banda les emocions i actuar sempre a través de la raó i la lògica. Les futures generacions vulcanianes es crien amb les creences de Surak per no tornar a cometre el mateix error. (ca)
  • Surak is a fictional character in the backstory of the Star Trek television series and franchises. He is portrayed as the most important philosopher in the history of the planet Vulcan. During an Earth-like "modern age", when the Vulcans are technological but emotionally driven and violent, Surak founds a movement which reforms the Vulcan way of thinking and lifestyle and leads to the world of logically-reasoning and emotion-repressing Vulcans known from the TV series. This period in Vulcan history is referred to as the "Time of Awakening". The "Time of Awakening" is accompanied by violence unmatched in Vulcan history, according to the Star Trek: Enterprise episode "Awakening" (wherein Surak's mind is resurrected 1,800 years after his death to restore to modern Vulcans an uncorrupted version of his original philosophy). During the "Time of Awakening" a Vulcan schism of those who "sought a return to savage ways" and "marched beneath the raptor's wings" (later the symbol of the Romulan people) perpetrate a cataclysmic nuclear attack upon Surak and his enlightened society. Soon after Surak's death, these Vulcan recidivists abandon their homeworld to colonize the planets Romulus and Remus, forming what later comes to be known as the Romulan Star Empire. While Surak's philosophy of peace and logic survives for the next 2,000 years only as an underground movement within the emotional, warlike Romulan society (until further shepherded, in the Next Generation episode "Unification", by the elderly Ambassador Spock in the role of a latter-day successor to Surak), it continues to flourish on Vulcan to become its predominant philosophy. The "Time of Awakening" and its "ironic violence" noted by Surak, which ends in nuclear holocaust but philosophical maturity, was written by Star Trek creators with intentional parallels to modern human society—particularly its historical progression toward cultural enlightenment, reason and tolerance interrupted by extreme bouts of cultural regression, irrationalism and fanatical violence.

  • Surak is een fictieve figuur uit Star Trek. Surak is bekend als de grondlegger van de logische Vulcan-maatschappij. In een tijd waar Vulcan op het punt stond vernietigd te worden door oorlogen kon Surak steeds meer invloed winnen met zijn filosofie van logica: gevoelens (die aan de basis lagen van de nucleaire bijna-vernietiging van de Vulcan maatschappij) moesten koste wat kost worden onderdrukt in het voordeel van logica. Later zou die periode in de Vulcan geschiedenis bekend worden als de 'Awakening' (rond de 4de eeuw van onze tijdrekening). Surak kon de essentie van zijn persoonlijkheid voor zijn dood overbrengen in een relikwie, waar het later door en later T'Pau werd gebruikt om Vulcan terug naar de essentie van de leer van Surak te leiden.
