Science fiction has always provided a rich resource for Philosophy. What is different about this collection of twenty short sci-fi stories is that were all written by a Philosopher. They cover every aspect of science fiction. All the familiar 'tropes' are here - with a twist - but these tales are designed to make you think as much as to entertain. They will overturn your expectations, undermine your easy-going assumptions and hopefully make you see the world and yourself differently. Which is all that philosophy sets out to do. Have fun!CONTENTS- A Better Ray Gun- The Black Box- I Love Your Waspish Waist- Walkabout- A Million Dark Years- A Case of Doubt- The Last... What?- A Lesson in Biology- Alien Baby- The Insurance Policy- Perfect Day- The Good Witness- Hare and Hounds- The Fatalists- Hold That Sucker Down- The Ministry of Perception- Go Deep- Space Hopper- That Feeling When- Message From a Lonely Planet
