Thought Experiments

• Thesis Text:
  1. In general, I’m in favour of using thought experiments in philosophy.
  2. However, I’d like to consider – following "Wilkes (Kathleen) - Real People: Personal Identity Without Thought Experiments" – whether some thought-experiments in pursuit of clarifying issues in personal identity
     1. Propose impossible scenarios,
     2. Trade on under-specification, or
     3. Put us in circumstances where our concepts² no longer apply (or where we could no longer play the appropriate language-game using them – see "Gale (Richard) - On Some Pernicious Thought-Experiments").
  3. Sometimes our intuitions³ are unreliable as to the truth or possibility of what we intuit.
     1. Some doubt the possible phenomenal consciousness⁴ of artificial systems⁵, however complex, but is this anything other than a fallacious argument from personal incredulity?
     2. Descartes⁶ argued for the real distinction⁷ between mind⁸ and body⁹ by thinking he could imagine their separation, but could he really?
     3. Sometimes, our intuitions¹⁰ may give us no clue one way or the other, or only a gentle lead (as Williams seems to be suggesting in "Williams (Bernard) - The Self and the Future").
  4. "Snowdon (Paul) - Personal Identity and Brain Transplants" gives a helpful critique of Wilkes’s and Johnston’s (see "Johnston (Mark) - Human Beings") arguments against thought experiments.
  5. "Wilson (Jack) - Beyond Horses and Oak Trees: A New Theory of Individuation for Living Entities" thinks that TEs should be avoided where possible, and real examples used. At least in actual circumstances we know that the situation is possible¹¹ (“actual implies possible”), and we know, or can discover, all the background conditions.
  6. The trouble is that there may not be enough naturally-occurring situations, or practically or ethically available experimental circumstances, to provide the occasions to put maximum pressure on our concepts¹².
  7. Then again, were our concepts¹³ designed to be put on the rack? What would their failure really tell us?
  8. The topic of Transhumanism¹⁴ is replete with TEs, given that the expected advances are yet to take place.

  Further Remarks:
  1. Items in the reading lists below should be split between two categories:-
     1. Theory of TEs, whether related to the philosophy of personal identity, philosophy in general (eg. philosophy of mind), or other areas (eg. science).
     2. Examples of TEs in action, specifically in the arena of personal identity.
        
  2. However, I have not got round to performing this segregation yet, division simply being between those works I’ve read and those still in the queue. So, …
