comment
First published in 1984 by Michael Philips, with the help of Prometheus Books. This is an anthology of Science Fiction, but also a Non-Fiction textbook using the fictional stories to teach lessons on introductory philosophy. Michael Philips, who was a professor of philosophy at Portland State University, wrote about thirty pages of lessons, and also included Study Questions to tie the lessons and the fiction together, using popular stories to teach hard-to-understand ideas.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })
