Marxismo y ciencia ficción en Peter Frase

In this text we propose a reflection centered around the theoretical-methodological approach adopted by Peter Frase in Four Futures, which seeks to combine social theory and science fiction, which he called “social science fiction”. Based on theoretical discussions about the epistemological assumptions inherent to scientific and artistic approaches, about the cognitive value of science fiction works, as well as about the connection of these works to the social and political context of the 20th century, we seek to determine to what extent the proposed approach por Frase can enrich the contemporary social debate.
