- Title
Universes Colliding: The Nature of Reality in Philip K. Dick's Writings.
- Authors
Paşcalău, Cristian
- Abstract
This article studies the problem of reality in science-fiction texts. We focus mainly on Philip K. Dick's writings, both fictional and non-fictional ones. As a cult author in the field, K. Dick goes beyond the usual literary patterns and develops a personal philosophy of science-fiction. Posing the problem of time and reality, he tries to convey a reflexive justification for his peculiar mode of writing and for the social issues developed in his works. We provide an inquiry of his prospects within a philosophic, semiotic and, at a larger extent, modal semantic framework, and also briefly refer to some of his novels.
