Philosophical fiction

Philosophical fiction is a type of writing that uses stories to explore ideas and questions about the meaning of life and how people should live. It can help people think about their own beliefs and values, and think about new ways of looking at the world. Philosophical fiction stories often ask hard questions that make you think, such as: What is the purpose of life? What is right and wrong? What does it mean to be a good person? The characters and events in stories may not always provide the answers, but they can help spark your own thoughts and ideas.
