PHI 315 - PHILOSOPHY AND SCIENCE FICTION

College of Arts and Sciences

Credit(s): 3

An examination of fundamental questions in metaphysics, epistemology, and value theory through a comparison of works of philosophy and science fiction. Questions will be discussed such as: Can there be time travel? Can computers think? Can there be non-human persons, and if so how would we identify them? Can there be ways of knowing that are radically different from our own, and what might they be like? How much can a person change while remaining the same person?

Meets UK Core: Intellectual Inquiry in Arts and Creativity.
Approved for Distance Learning.
