In this course, we will take a philosophical and comparative approach to the exciting world of Chinese Science Fiction. Since Chinese science fiction is very much a global literature, comparisons will be highlighted between Chinese science fiction and science fictions from the United States, Great Britain, Russia/Soviet Union, and Japan. Our goal will be to explore questions about human nature and purpose, utopianism, determinism and free will, and many other questions about the nature of the universe and the human condition in it.
