Philosophy Through Science Fiction offers a fun, challenging, and accessible way in to the issues of philosophy through the genre of science fiction. Tackling problems such as the possibility of time travel, or what makes someone the same person over time, the authors take a four-pronged approach to each issue. Philosophy Through Science Fiction includes stories from leading new science fiction writers including Greg Egan and Mike Resnick, as well as from world renowned authors like Philip K. Dick and Robert Heinlein. Philosophy readings in this book include historical pieces by Rene Descartes and David Hume, and contemporary pieces by John Searle and Mary Midgley.
