摘要
在最近的一篇令人耳目一新的论文中,Cowie (2022, The Philosophical Quarterly)分析了神秘星际物体1I/2017 U1 Oumuamua的人工起源假设,以及对异常天文现象的人工起源解释的更广泛的证明问题。应该进一步发展这一值得高度赞扬的哲学项目,以便建立更普遍的方法来处理外星有意行为者的痕迹和表现。在本文中,我展示了标准描述的几个弱点,主要涉及技术哲学,并提出了改进它的方法。
In a recent refreshing paper, Cowie (2022, The Philosophical Quarterly) analyses the hypothesis of artificial origin of the mysterious interstellar object 1I/2017 U1 ʻOumuamua, as well as the wider question of justification of the artefactual origin explanation for anomalous astronomical phenomena. This highly commendable philosophical project should be further developed in order to establish more general methodology for dealing with traces and manifestations of extraterrestrial intentional actors. In the present note, I demonstrate a couple of weaknesses of the standard account, mainly dealing with philosophy of technology, and suggest ways of improving upon it.
期刊介绍:
International Journal of Astrobiology is the peer-reviewed forum for practitioners in this exciting interdisciplinary field. Coverage includes cosmic prebiotic chemistry, planetary evolution, the search for planetary systems and habitable zones, extremophile biology and experimental simulation of extraterrestrial environments, Mars as an abode of life, life detection in our solar system and beyond, the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, the history of the science of astrobiology, as well as societal and educational aspects of astrobiology. Occasionally an issue of the journal is devoted to the keynote plenary research papers from an international meeting. A notable feature of the journal is the global distribution of its authors.
