Епистемология на научната фантастика
Epistemology of Science Fiction

Summary/Abstract: The author outlines three ages in the development of science fiction – early age, modern age and postnuclear age. Because science fiction manifests the structure of empirical knowledge at a particular time within a culture, it functions as a reaction to and a barometer for cultural shifts in the way meaning is structured. Thus, by examining the epistemes of western culture, Kevin Boon exposes thematic transformations in science fiction and vice versa.
