Theory of mind and science fiction /
Pagan, Nicholas O.,

Theory of mind and science fiction /Nicholas O. Pagan. - 1 online resource.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Introduction. Literature and the Emergence of Theory of Mind -- 1. Science Fiction and Other Minds -- 2. Mary Shelley's" Frankenstein; or, the Modern Prometheus": Correcting Faulty Mind-reading -- 3. Stapledon's "Star Maker": Cosmic Minds and the Triumph of Theory of Mind -- 4. E. A. van Vogt's "Slan": Intimations of Superior Theory of Mind -- 5. Dick's" Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep": What Happened to Affective Empathy?.

"Theory of Mind and Science Fiction" introduces readers to theory of mind, a discipline that crosses disciplinary borders between psychology, neuroscience, and literature. Pagan's model of theory of mind is drawn in particular from social neuroscientist Tania Singer's distinction between 'cognitive-perspective taking' and 'emotional-perspective taking,' and also relies on Richard Maurice Bucke's notion of 'cosmic consciousness' and ground-breaking recent work positing oppositions between 'theory theory of mind' (TT) and 'simulation theory of mind ' (ST) and between 'affective empathy' and 'cognitive empathy.' By focusing in detail on key texts within the Western canon of literary science fiction - from Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus" to Philip K. Dick's "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" this book succeeds in opening up a powerful new way of thinking not just about this particular genre but also about our humanity.
