Resumo: This essay intersects literature and epistemology in order to understand what it means to take “The left hand of darkness” (1969), as proposed by the author Ursula K. Le Guin, as a thought experiment. As we look at Science Fiction as a literary genre and how it relates to the notion of thought experiment, we conclude that Science Fiction authors, through the imaginary displacement they perform as they create people, worlds, political organizations, and explore the relations between subjects within these imaginary structures, also draw thought experiments that are able to deal with important aspects of the human experience.

Ao aproximarmos a ficção científica enquanto gênero da noção de experimento de pensamento, concluímos que o deslocamento imaginativo realizado por autores de ficção científica, ao inventar pessoas, mundos, diferentes organizações políticas, e ao explorar, também, relações entre sujeitos dentro dessas estruturas e organizações sociais, elaboram experimentos de pensamento capazes de lidar com importantes aspectos da experiência humana.Universidade Federal do Recôncavo da Bahia2021-10-28info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPeer-ReviewedEvaluados por los paresAvaliados pelos paresapplication/pdfhttp://www3.ufrb.edu.br/seer/index.php/griot/article/view/242310.31977/grirfi.v21i3.2423Griot : Revista de Filosofia; v. 21 n. 3 (2021); 99-1112178-1036reponame:Griot : Revista de Filosofiainstname:Universidade Federal do Recôncavo na Bahia (UFRB)instacron:UFRBporhttp://www3.ufrb.edu.br/seer/index.php/griot/article/view/2423/1473Copyright (c) 2021 Bruna Schneid da Silva, Jade Bueno Arbohttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSchneid da Silva, BrunaBueno Arbo, Jade 2021-10-28T13:44:46Zoai:seer.www.ufrb.edu.br:article/2423Revistahttp://www.ufrb.edu.br/griot/PUBhttp://www3.ufrb.edu.br/seer/index.php/griot/oai||griotrevista@gmail.com2178-10362178-1036opendoar:2021-10-28T13:44:46Griot : Revista de Filosofia - Universidade Federal do Recôncavo na Bahia (UFRB)false
