The Trolley Problem

The Trolley Problem

▸About this simulation & how to play

You're about to discuss a classic thought experiment in moral philosophy. You'll be asked to make a judgment about a case, and then a short series of questions about your answer. Just say what you think, and be ready to say why.

An experimental version of this way of investigating thought experiments is developed in Nat Hansen, Kathryn B. Francis, and Hamish Greening, "Socratic Questionnaires," in Oxford Studies in Experimental Philosophy, Volume 5, ed. Joshua Knobe and Shaun Nichols (Oxford University Press, 2024), 331–374, doi.org/10.1093/9780198918905.003.0014.
