Martin Cohen: Wittgenstein's Beetle

*Wittgenstein's Beetle* is a book that introduces the content and development of thought experiments conducted in the "laboratory within the mind." It compiles 26 thought experiments, ranging from widely known ones to somewhat specialized and unfamiliar ones, such as Plato's Cave, Lucretius's Spear, Galileo's Iron Ball, Newton's Bucket, and Wittgenstein's Beetle. The book provides engaging explanations to help readers fully understand these "26 thought experiments in philosophy and science." The book is composed of an introduction, the 26 thought experiments, annotations on the experiments, commentary, and citations. The introduction presents a brief history of thought experiments. The 26 thought experiments are presented in the order of necessary materials, explanation, and discussion topics. The annotations explain the seven rules for a good thought experiment, while the commentary and citations describe the references for each experiment and the key figures appearing in the text.
