關於我（About me）

我目前的研究主題可以分為四大類。第一類是關於行為的道德許可性問題，此議題關心特定行為是否在道德上被許可去實行，這項研究會涉及其他相關討論如：道德許可性與道德錯誤在概念上的連結、個人知識狀態如何影響行為的道德許可性判斷、行為的意圖、動機與目的等心理特徵，在道德判斷中扮演怎麼樣的角色等。第二類是決策理論以及因果關係，這兩個主題擁有內在關聯性，決策理論探討人們在面對多重選項時應該如何做決策，而這些選項（作為原因）所可能帶來的結果則是重要考量。換言之，要做出恰當的理性決策，我們也需要能做出恰當的因果判斷。第三類與第四類則是將前兩類的研究成果，應用到當前社會議題中。我的第三類研究主題關注當代AI技術所引發的倫理議題，特別是當AI被用來取代人類做判斷時，相應的責任分配問題。第四類則關注安樂死相關道德問題，尤其是與「積極安樂死」和「消極安樂死」道德地位相關之討論。

My current research topic can be divided into four categories. The first category is about the moral permissibility of actions, which concerns whether a specific action is morally permitted to be performed. This research will involve other related discussions such as: the conceptual connection between moral permissibility and moral wrongness, how personal knowledge states affect moral permissibility judgments of actions, and what roles psychological features such as intention, motivation and purpose play in moral judgments. The second category is decision theory and causality, which have intrinsic connections. Decision theory explores how people should make decisions when facing multiple options, and the possible outcomes (as causes) of these options are important considerations. In other words, to make appropriate rational decisions, we also need to be able to make appropriate causal judgments. The third and fourth categories are applications of the research results of the first two categories to current social issues. My third category of research topic focuses on ethical issues raised by contemporary AI technology, especially when AI is used to replace human judgment, and the corresponding responsibility allocation problem. The fourth category focuses on euthanasia-related moral issues, especially those related to the moral status of “active euthanasia” and “passive euthanasia”.
