Recommend the essay by Scott R. Bakker, The Skeptical Fantasist: In Defense of an Oxymoron. I don't necessarily agree on all fronts but I do agree, heartily, that philosophy and the arguments about meaning are a critical aspect of literature and are alive and well in speculative fiction of all sorts. It isn't "just" about entertaining and making a buck however integral entertainment may be to the bigger questions and however necessary money is to life.
