“…<br /> The reference to quantum mechanics will be proven to be profound: Brecht seizes on the problem of causality in quantum mechanics to counter the claim of objective necessities and strict determinism in social processes. The thought experiment of Heisenberg's microscope describes an unavoidable influence of the observer on its object. …”

“…First, philosophers should use simulations for many of the same reasons we currently use thought experiments. In fact, simulations are superior to thought experiments in achieving some philosophical goals. …”

“…We posit that these fluctuations are functionally significant, and may reflect underlying interactions between the neural systems related to attention control. We explore thought experiments to generate different perspectives on landscapes created by the interactions between attention control networks and the sources of input to these control systems. …”

“…Here we examine simple thought experiments to demonstrate that both the emergence of parasites in simple replicator systems and their persistence in evolving life forms are inevitable because the putative parasite-free states are evolutionarily unstable. …”
