思想实验就是以想象的形式,在头脑中进行的虚拟实验。思想实验是一种帮助我们浏览甚至改写自己脑中概念框架的工具。它可以用来纠正我们的认知偏差,也可以用来帮助我们编写更好的心智程序。思想实验的核心句式,就是“如果这样,那么会怎样”。本书的主要目标,就是帮助读者掌握这个核心句式,学会设计思想实验。为了达成这个目标,书中介绍了心理学家、哲学家、科学家、小说家等各个领域的杰出人士设计的50个思想实验,涵盖关于思考方法,道德与善恶,审美与决策,社会与正义,逻辑、概率与知识,科学与世界,以及人类的心智与行为的思想实验。本书可以帮助读者通过想象有趣的场景,反思自己固有思维中的局限性,从而更加了解自己、了解世界。
