This classic piece of philosophical science fiction by Daniel Dennett, \u201cWhere Am I?<\/a>\u201c, is the reading for my Religion and Science Fiction class for Friday. It is a valuable piece in its own right, but also nicely illustrates how science fiction can be useful to philosophers and other thinkers as thought experiments to help us explore difficult and puzzling issues.<\/p>\n

Where Am I? <\/a> http:\/\/d1.scribdassets.com\/ScribdViewer.swf <\/p>\n

I also found (via Daniel Dennett\u2019s home page) this 1988 Documentary \u201cVictim of the Brain<\/a>\u201d which includes a dramatization of Dennett\u2019s story \u201cWhere Am I?\u201d:<\/p>\n

There are other copies of Daniel Dennett\u2019s \u201cWhere Am I?\u201d online here<\/a> and here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
