About fantasy — philosophically
Is there any intellectual connection between fiction and philosophy? Is it possible to talk about the use of philosophical methods and systems in literature, film (and games) of fantasy? Can fiction serve as a specifically conceived simulator of philosophical problems — moral dilemmas, ontological constructions, and so on? Dr. Jacek Sobota from the Institute of Philosophy of the University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn will try to answer these questions (rather affirmatively).

Jacek Sobota — employed as an assistant professor at the Institute of Philosophy of the University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn. For many years she has been studying pop culture in a philosophical context, with a particular focus on science fiction literature. He is the author of three monographs on this subject, as well as four popular science books. Critic and science fiction writer (published 3 fiction books).

The event is co-organized with the Institute of Philosophy of Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń.
