7: Philosophy in Fiction
Philosophers think a lot about
fiction. But do novelists think about philosophy? Do philosophers make
good fictional characters? Can good stories be built around
philosophical problems? When awarding its Genius prize to
philosopher-novelist Rebecca Goldstein, the MacArthur Foundation said
"[her] writings emerge as brilliant arguments for the belief that
fiction in our time may be the best vehicle for involving readers in
questions of morality and existence.'' Ken and John explore philosophy
in fiction with Rebecca Newberger Goldstein, author of The Mind-Body Problem and 36
Arguments for the Existence of God: A Work of Fiction.
