Experimento mental

Um experimento mental é um cenário imaginário que visa elucidar ou testar um argumento ou teoria. Frequentemente, trata-se de um experimento que seria difícil, impossível ou antiético de realizar na prática. Também pode ser uma hipótese abstrata destinada a testar nossas intuições sobre moralidade ou outras questões fundamentais da filosofia.
