What in the world is "skill at philosophy"?
I've also been presenting them with contrarian opinions and asking them to evaluate them, and I have a higher opinion of them if they avoid just icking away from the subject.
You have a higher opinion of people who make socially foolish decisions?
What in the world is "skill at philosophy"?
On the other hand, I suspect that it is possible to rank people according to their skill at philosophy, and come up with an ordering that's reasonably widely agreed, as long as the points are not too close. Just for fun, here's a few to rank...
So I guess there is such a thing.
I'm looking for hard philosophical questions to give to people to gauge their skill at philosophy.
So far, I've been presenting people with Newcomb's problem and the Sleeping Beauty problem. I've also been presenting them with contrarian opinions and asking them to evaluate them, and I have a higher opinion of them if they avoid just icking away from the subject.
What other problems should I use?
