摘要

在她对思想实验的经典批判中,凯西·威尔克斯指出了最著名的道德-政治思想实验的肤浅之处,并以盖吉斯之戒为中心。她的批评者通过讨论想象场景的可能变化来捍卫指环。我在这里提出,这场辩论指向了思想实验的一个重要的双重结构。他们最初的陈述调动了提案的提倡者和听者的即时的、认知上不太令人印象深刻的想象力和反思努力。进一步的辩论,就像威尔克斯的批评和一些答案所体现的那样,需要更深刻、更理性的想象和推理。我认为这种二元性在道德和政治思想实验中是典型的,我猜想它可以扩展到整个思想实验领域。

Imagining the Ring of Gyges. The Dual Rationality of Thought-Experimenting
In her already classical criticism of thought-experimenting, Kathy Wilkes points to superficialities in the most famous moral-political thought experiments, taking the Ring of Gyges as her central example. Her critics defend the Ring by discussing possible variations in the scenario(s) imagined. I propose here that the debate points to a significant dual structure of thought experiments. Their initial presentation(s) mobilize the immediate, cognitively not very impressive imaginative and refl ective efforts both of the proponent and the listener of the proposal. The further debate, like the one exemplifi ed by Wilkes’s criticisms and some of the answers, appeals to a deeper, more rational variety of imagination and reasoning. I suggest that this duality is typical for moral and political thought experimenting in general, conjecture that it might be extended to the whole area of thought experimenting.
