Description
Section information text: We use science fiction literature as an opportunity to investigate metaphysical topics in philosophy. Standard topics include: the possibility of time travel and resulting paradoxes, artificial intelligence, the hypothesis that the human mind is nothing more than a physical machine, the persistence of the identity of persons over time, the status of virtual realities, and the embodiment of persons in biological, mechanical, and virtual forms. Students will read both philosophical works and works from speculative fiction.
