課程概述 |
我們普遍同意我們並不知道手上的樂透不會中獎,但許多日常命題(ordinary proposition)都會蘊含如此的「樂透命題」(lottery proposition),於是這威脅到了我們對於日常命題的知識。值得注意的是,樂透命題比常見的懷疑論劇本還更有辯證上的效力(dialectically effective),畢竟許多哲學家會嘗試以各種方式來主張我們可以知道自己不是桶中腦。這個問題在近年的文獻中受到相當廣泛的討論,而本專題課將聚焦在關於「封閉性原則」(closure principle)的議題,探討「脈絡論」(contextualism)與「不變論」(invariantism)這兩條進路。 |
課程目標 |
本課程目標在於使學生
(1) 完整掌握關於樂透悖論的議題;
(2) 對於主要的兩個立場有些基本的理解;
(3) 發展自己的觀點。 |
