Abstract

Should we descry the nature of the self from thought experiments? Shaun Nichols says ‘maybe,’ but only if we use thought experiments that do not recruit the indexical “I” (non-I-recruiting). His reason is that the psychology of “I” perforce mandates that imagination responds to thought experiments that recruit it (I-recruiting) peculiarly. Here, I consider whether he is correct about non-I-recruiting personal identity thought experiments. I argue positively using the same framework, i.e., considering the underlying psychology.
想象、思维实验与个人身份
我们应该从思想实验中了解自我的本质吗?Shaun Nichols说“也许”,但前提是我们使用的思维实验不招募指数“I”(非I招募)。他的理由是,“我”的心理学必然要求想象力对特别招募想象力的思维实验做出反应。在这里,我考虑他关于非我招募个人身份思想实验的观点是否正确。我使用同样的框架,即考虑潜在的心理学,积极地进行论证。
