Identify a situation in your life that you might want to use the Experience Machine to explore.

Reflection 4

Main Idea: Nozick’s Experience Machine lends a critical perspective to hedonism.

Questions:

(a) What is the Experience Machine? How does it work?

(b) Application: Identify a situation in your life that you might want to use the Experience Machine to explore.

(c) Explain why you would not plug in to the machine.

For the purposes of this essay, you may not argue that you would plug in anyway. You must consider the reasons you would not want to plug in (and Nozick has several to offer you).
