内容説明
In Hollywood, the science fiction genre maintains a remarkable hold on the imagination and enthusiasm of the filmgoing public, regularly drawing large crowds and generating even larger profits. Science fiction films not only give viewers a glimpse into alternative realities but also explore various philosophical questions and themes, including the paradoxes of time travel, enigmas of personal identity, the significance of paranoia, the implications of advanced technology and artificial intelligence, and the meaning of life. The contributors to "The Philosophy of Science Fiction Film" use classic movies from the science fiction genre to explore complex philosophical themes and concepts in a unique and accessible way.
