Description

Science Fiction and Philosophy explores how concepts from science fiction are used to address fundamental philosophical questions. This collection of readings examines issues such as transhumanism, brain enhancement, time travel, the nature of the self, and the ethics of artificial intelligence. The book draws on a range of science fiction works, including novels, films, and TV series, to inform discussions of classic philosophical puzzles and topics. Recent scientific developments have raised new questions that are addressed in this edition, which includes new chapters on the technological singularity. By combining science fiction with philosophical inquiry, this book provides a unique perspective on some of the most pressing issues of our time.
