In this episode of Conversations on Anarres, we talk with Dr. Helen De Cruz about science fiction, the radical imagination and the power of art to express philosophy.
She is a philosopher, science fiction/fantasy author, and artist. Currently, she is the Danforth Chair of Philosophy and Humanities at St. Louis University where she teaches philosophy of religion, experimental philosophy, and philosophy of mind.
In our interview, we begin by talking about the work she did in the volume "Philosophy Through Science Fiction"--thinking about science fiction as one way to express philosophical wisdom. We then talk about her new book, "Philosophy Illustrated", which presents a variety of classic philosophical thought experiments along with illustrations done by her.
