Abstract
The American philosopher Hilary Putnam proposed a theory in his work Reason, Truth and History called “Brains in a Vat” and it motivates the reader to question their knowledge of the world as well as their state of existence. Putnam’s theory, claiming that a brain connected to a computer might perceive the same reality as the one within a body without realising the difference, raises questions about human perceptions of the world, as well as the validity of those perceptions. This thesis will utilize Putnam’s theory as a stepping stone toward exploring the interpretations of the notions of mind, reality, and perception within various works of the science fiction genre. This paper aims to analyse Putnam’s theory, Bostrom’s theory of simulation, Searle’s Chinese room, Turing’s test for artificial intelligence, as well as well-known cinematic works such as the Matrix, Transcendence, RoboCop, Ghost in the Shell, and the beloved show Doctor Who to demonstrate the various portrayals of the human mind, reality and the way we perceive it.
