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, philosophy of mind, and metaphysics.

Organised thematically, each story addresses fundamental philosophical questions such as: *What does it means to be human? *What is consciousness? *What makes a life worthwhile? *What political systems are best? By making complex ideas easily accessible, this unique reader 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.
