    Thought experiments have played a pivotal role in many debates within ethicsand in particular within applied ethics-over the past 30 years.

Over the course of 11 chapters, we dip into 50 cases and con undrums, each with references for further reading and a few questions for dis-cussion. You'll find lots of certifiable classics: Plato's Ring of Gyges

    alize from thought experiments in one area of philosophy - epistemology in case of Gettier thought experiments - to thought experiments in substantially different areas, e.g. ethics or metaphysics. But given that we do not even have a solid understanding of how Gettier thought experiments work, these concerns may seem like minor quibbles.

    This chapter suggests a scheme of reconstruction, which explains how scenarios, questions and arguments figure in thought experiments. It then develops a typology of ethical thought experiments according to their function, which can be epistemic, illustrative, rhetorical, heuristic or theory-internal. Epistemic functions of supporting or refuting ethical claims rely on metaethical assumptions ...
