Philosophy of science fiction

The philosophy of science fiction explores how fictional stories about futuristic technology, advanced societies, and alternative realities reflect, challenge, or expand our understanding of science, ethics, and human nature. It examines questions about what could be possible, the morality of scientific progress, and how imaginative scenarios influence our worldview. By analyzing these narratives, it helps us consider the implications of scientific ideas and the underlying assumptions about knowledge, reality, and our future, bridging creative storytelling with philosophical inquiry.
