Od bioetike do kvantne etike u 11 dimenzija - ljudsko poboljšanje i mašina za iskustvo

Abstract

U ovom tekstu se Nozikov čuveni primer 'mašine za iskustvo' primenjuje u kontekstu 'neuronaučnih' istraživanja o prirodi moralnih intuicija. Prema pretpostavci savremenih neuroetičara, uvid u prirodu (mehanizam) nastanka ljudskih moralnih intuicija mogao bi da razjasni prirodu bazičnih moralnih (normativne) sudove i pruži njihovu metaetičku 'podlogu'. Autor ispituje kako se čuveni Nozikov misaoni eksperiment zasnovan na ideji 'mašine za iskustvo' može uklopiti u ovaj kontekst i primeniti na ideju moralnog poboljšanja.

Nozick's wrote 'the experience machine case' in 1974. Development of modern medicine and brain researches force us to stop thinking about this possibility only in 'science-fiction' manner. Initially, Nozick's possible target was utilitarianism (and consequentialism). Today we can see amuch bigger picture. In the field of ethics, we are witnessing the rapid progress of neuroscience that raises various moral issues. One of the consequences of the possibility of controlled brain-manipulation is a possibility of establishing neuroethics as a solution of all (meta)ethical problems, especially the problem of the status of moral judgments and moral intuitions. Nozick's 'case' is presented as a challenge to prevailing optimism in moral acceptability of the prospects of 'plugging' into the machine.
