For a Philosophy & SciFi class I'm piloting spring semester, I'm seeking recommendations of sci fi, preferably short, that depicts either extraterrestrial cognition or extraterrestrial phenomenology.
What's good? Whatchoogot?
Cheers,

I thought that Contact, with Jodie Foster, was a film that had good metaphysical themes.
ReplyDeleteNovels unfortunately, but one could excerpt the relevant bits:
ReplyDeleteChina Mieville Embassytown
Peter Watts Blindsight [see his website for short stories that would also be relevant eg The Thing retold in the first person]
Ian Watson The Embedding
Unfortunately, narrators of such stories are often uncomprehending humans.
