Sinossi

Speculative Influence explores the profound connection between speculative fiction and real-world ethical and scientific dilemmas, revealing how imaginative storytelling serves as a powerful tool for foresight. It argues that science fiction isn't just escapism, but a vital form of thought experiment, anticipating scientific advancements and shaping ethical frameworks. The book highlights how these narratives allow society to debate the implications of new technologies, such as AI and biotechnology, before they become widespread realities. Consider, for example, how the portrayal of AI sentience in literature mirrors philosophical discussions of machine rights, or how climate engineering is presented in film as a means to cope with the dangers of a warming planet. The book examines the history of speculative genres, from Frankenstein to cyberpunk, demonstrating recurring anxieties about science and technology. Moving through the intellectual history of speculative fiction, the book shows how ethical issues in science, technology, and society were first engaged through creative license. Structured in three parts, it introduces a theoretical framework, analyzes specific scientific developments, and synthesizes findings for practical application. This approach allows the book to offer unique insights for policymakers, scientists, and artists seeking to harness speculative thinking for societal betterment.

    The Dao De Jing exists on the border between poetry and philosophy, embracing both mythos and logos. Its poetic form can stand alone, but it is enriched when its timeless ideas are analyzed and explained through careful scholarship. For example: “He who knows others is knowledgeable. He who knows himself is wise.” These words resemble Socrates’ account of his own quest in Plato’s Apology.
     
    Ancient philosophy, both in China and in Greece, places self-­‐ knowledge at the center of the search for wisdom. Contemporary philosophers are often misled about this way of thinking, because the self has been detached from external things and separated from nature and society. The wisdom of China and of Europe unites human existence and nature.

    From Outer Space to Inner Space...

    The sixth man who walked on the moon shares his journey to the stars, into the mind, and beyond. 
    In February 1971, as Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell hurtled Earthward through space, he was engulfed by a profound sense of universal connectedness. He intuitively sensed that his presence and that of the planet in the window were all part of a deliberate, universal process, and that the glittering cosmos itself was, in some way, conscious. The experience was so overwhelming, Mitchell knew his life would never be the same.  
    For the next thirty-five years, he embarked on another journey, an inward exploration of the ineffable mystery of human consciousness and being. Mitchell left NASA to form the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS). There he initiated research in areas of study previously neglected by mainstream science and constructed a theory that could explain not only the mysteries of consciousness, but also the psychic event—what spiritualists call a “miracle” and scientists dismiss altogether.  
    Mitchell also created a new dyadic model of reality, revealing a self-aware universe not predetermined by the laws of physics, preordained by deities, or infinitely malleable. While human actions are generally subject to the laws of physics, these laws are also influenced by the mind.  
    From Outer Space to Inner Space traces two remarkable journeys—one through space and one through the mind. Together they fundamentally alter the way we understand the miracle and mystery of being, and ultimately reveal humankind’s role in its own destiny.  
    Previously published as The Way of the Explorer, this edition includes a new foreword by Avi Loeb, an afterword by Dean Radin, and a postscript chapter by the author.
