I'll Be Back, Therefore I Am
A timely book that uses science fiction to provoke reflection
and discussion on philosophical issues
From the nature of mind to the ethics of AI and neural
enhancement, science fiction thought experiments fire the
philosophical imagination, encouraging us to think outside of the
box about classic philosophical problems and even to envision new
ones. Science Fiction and Philosophy explores puzzles about virtual
reality, transhumanism, whether time travel is possible, the nature
of artificial intelligence, and topics in neuroethics, among other
timely issues. This thought-provoking volume is suitable for
students and general readers but also examines new and more
advanced topics of interest to seasoned philosophers and
scientists.
Susan Schneider (Hometown TK) is Assistant Professor in the
department of philosophy at the University of Pennsylvania and an
Affiliated Faculty Member at the Institutes for Research in
Cognitive Science and Center for Cognitive Neuroscience.
