/Class Outline
A good narrative work can be an excellent example for considering philosophical issues. In this lecture, we will deal with Fujiko F. Fujio's science fiction short stories as an example of such philosophical narratives. In each lecture, we will discuss the contents of the stories and introduce the philosophical debates and philosophers' ideas related to them. We hope that students will become familiar with philosophical discussions using stories as material.

Suggestions on
Preparation and
Review
I will give a brief synopsis of the story each time. However, in the case of difficult stories, there is a possibility that my interpretation and the students' will differ greatly. Since such discrepancies are one of the real pleasures of the class, it is advisable to organize the story in advance.
