I haven't watched the show, but I've sometimes seen essays from people saying that Kirk, Spock, and Bones represent "body, mind, and spirit." And whatever the creators' intentions, there does seem to be a popular misconception that rationalists or rational people or both act like Spock.
I suspect there a reasonable amount of truth to this belief. At least I suspect Spock was a reasonable caricature of the type of self-proclaimed "rational people" prevalent during the 50s and 60s.
