I learned from a Weibo sharer that the topic is the ten most famous paradoxes in the world, and I am most interested in the tram problem. The Trolley Problem-one of the most well-known thought experiments in ethics Content: A lunatic tied five innocent people to a tramway. An out-of-control tram came towards them and was crushed to them a moment later. Fortunately, you can pull a lever to get the tram to another track. But there is another problem. The lunatic also tied a person on that other track. Considering the above situation, should you pull the lever? Interpretation: The tram problem was first proposed by the philosopher PhilippaFoot to criticize the main theories in ethical philosophy, especially utilitarianism. The point put forward by utilitarianism is that most ethical decisions are made on the principle of “providing the greatest benefit to the greatest number of people.” From a utilitarian point of view, the obvious choice should be to pull the lever, saving five people and killing only one. But utilitarian critics believe that once you pull the lever, you become an accomplice of immoral behavior-you are partially responsible for the death of a single person on another track. However, others believe that in this situation you are required to do something, and your inaction will be equally immoral. In short, there is no complete ethical behavior, and this is the point. Many philosophers use the tram puzzle as an example to show that real-life conditions often force a person to violate his own moral code, and there are situations where there is no complete moral practice.
