    Thought Experiments in Methodological and Historical Contexts (repost)

    Katerina Ierodiakonou Sophie Roux, "Thought Experiments in Methodological and Historical Contexts"
    Publisher: BRILL | ISBN 10: 9004201769 | 2011 | PDF | 241 pages | 2.1 MB

    During the last decades of the twentieth century highly imaginative thought experiments were introduced in philosophy: Searles Chinese room, variations on the Brain-in-a-vat, Thomsons violinist. At the same time historians of philosophy and science claimed the title of thought experiment for almost any argument: Descartes evil genius, Buridans ass, Gyges ring. In the early 1990s a systematic debate began concerning the epistemological status of thought experiments.
