This collection is intended to support a philosophy course, but the philosophical essays connected to each short story provide little more than the reason for the story’s inclusion. You probably need to go to the classes. However, the stories themselves are quite good. Adjoiners, by Lisa Shoenberg is the best, packing sci-fi and philosophy into an exciting and thought provoking package. The New Book of the Dead, by Sofia Samatar was also very good, but loses focus after a while. Hell is the Absence of God, by Ted Chiang presents a unique world view blending life and the afterlife. Although perfectly contained, I wonder what could be done with an expanded version. Out of the Dragon’s Womb, by Aliette de Bodard had a more subtle philosophical point, but was beautifully written. I look forward to reading more from these sci-fi authors. ( ) ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
Bringing together short stories by award-winning contemporary science fiction authors and philosophers, this book covers a wide range of philosophical ideas from ethics, philosophy of religion, political philosophy, and metaphysics. Alongside the introductory pieces by the editors that help readers to understand how philosophy can be done through science fiction, you will find end-of-story notes written by the authors that contextualize their stories within broader philosophical themes. Organised thematically, these stories address fundamental philosophical questions such as: *What does it mean to be human? *Is neural enhancement a good thing? *What makes a life worthwhile? *What political systems are best? By making complex ideas easily accessible, this unique book allows you to engage with philosophical ideas in entertaining new ways, and is an ideal entry point for anyone interested in using fiction to better understand philosophy.
