I want to build a philosophy based on Science Fiction. There's a great variety of issues that can be both explored by and instigated from SciFi, and because of it's literary nature it can be irresponsible without being very detrimental (and sometimes the irresponsible series lay certain ground work for philosophy by just how wrong they are), and even series themselves my vary in responsibleness.
What intrigues me most about topics covered by science fiction is that not all people must be Human, and these non-human people may be of two forms: biological or artificial; each of these forms offers issues of equality.
However, to answer any of these questions, one must first determine what a person is, and how a person is different from the structure from which is arises. Initially the first seems pretty simple, but from the examination of the latter it becomes terribly foggy.
I suppose the difficulty I'm having is that I'm a bit afraid of what I might turn up, and how radically it might shake myself in the process. But I feel that this exploration will hopefully make me a better person, and I hope that this could contribute to humankind's journey to be a better people, or at least set of persons.
