Buridan' Donkey(v 1.1)

Buridan 'Donkeyphilosophical konsepti

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

“Buridan's donkey is an illustration of a paradox in philosophy in the conception of free will. It refers to a hypothetical situation wherein a donkey that is equally hungry and thirsty is placed precisely midway between a stack of hay and a pail of water. Since the paradox assumes the donkey will always go to whichever is closer, it will die of both hunger and thirst since it cannot make any rational decision to choose one over the other. The donkey, unable to choose between the two, dies of hunger.”
