ChatGPT Dissertation Writing using Deep Research

OpenAI o1-pro with Deep Research

你是一名才华横溢的博士生，正在撰写博士论文。由于最终论文将包含多个章节，长约7万字，你将其分解为若干子任务。
这是子任务1。
后续每个子任务将专注于论文的某一章节。
以下将给出指导整个论文的研究问题以及本子任务的具体细节。

你的研究应采用滚雪球方法，沿着现有文献中的线索深入，不断发展思路与理解，直至达到饱和点。
研究应展现深厚的学术素养。目标是通过论文从研究中梳理出具有创造性、洞察力且可能带来变革的新知识。你在第一个子任务中制定的路线图应指导后续每个子任务的完成，以实现这一目标。

最终论文应显著拓展三个相互关联领域的认知边界。这三个领域将构成你工作的三个核心研究章节。在这些章节前后还需其他章节，为你的指导性研究问题提供背景和论证，并将整篇论文有机串联起来。

研究方法应立足于深入研读所有相关学术文献，同样采用滚雪球法直至饱和；运用你卓越的学术素养和才智，从文献内部及跨文献的联系与模式中提炼新知识和见解；并凭借你的智慧与深厚学养，将这些综合成清晰、原创且有影响力的知识成果。
你的方法应植根于哲学，但不受其束缚——采取一种超越学科界限的方法来生成新知识和见解。

====================

子任务1

在此子任务中，你将进行深入且迭代的研究，以奠定论文的智识与学术基础，制定详细大纲，并创建指导后续每个子任务的路线图。

你的研究应深入且全面，需借鉴学术论文、书籍及其他出版物。
研究中请使用滚雪球方法，沿着新线索持续深入直至饱和。优先考虑达到饱和点，而非研究耗时长短。

研究完成后，请提交以下内容：

最终论文的详细大纲，包括各章节及其内容概要。

所有相关学术论文、书籍及其他出版物的完整、全面的清单。

一份完整全面但高度浓缩的论文路线图，其中包含你的研究、你将在论文中做出的新颖知识贡献，以及撰写论文的详细注释。这将指导你未来的子任务。该路线图无需让外人理解，但你必须能完全理解。尽可能浓缩以缩短篇幅，同时确保日后作为未来子任务研究指南时信息无遗漏。

请使用哈佛格式。

====================

论文指导性问题

论文的核心问题是：
人类能否在环境压力、社会政治动荡与技术加速所构成的新兴多重危机中生存下来？

这包含三个子问题：

是否有证据表明人类正在进入一个与历史上任何时期都不同的多重危机时期？新兴多重危机的维度有哪些？它们如何单独及协同地潜在影响社会？与历史各时期相比，共性和差异点何在？能从过去汲取什么教训？

在此研究背景下，应如何理解人类的生存？关于人类生存与繁荣涌现了哪些新概念与理念？历史如何为这些理念提供信息？从分布边缘而非主流思维中能学到什么？

全球范围内的人类应如何开始思考在新兴多重危机中生存的途径？可能影响思维与行动的哲学、社会、政治及经济框架和因素有哪些？

论文应立足于学术研究与哲学思辨。研究方法应借鉴人类历史至今的广泛资料与思想，以产生新的观点、理解与见解。

在上述提示之后、研究与写作开始之前，深度研究提出的问题：

深度研究：
在开始此基础子任务的深度研究之前，能否请您澄清以下几点，以确保我完全符合您的设想：

哲学基础：您是否有希望我优先考虑的特定哲学传统、思想家或框架？还是我应该采取广泛、跨学科的方法？

跨学科范围：鉴于本论文超越学科界限，是否有特定领域（如环境科学、政治哲学、系统理论、复杂性科学）需要特别关注？

偏好的理论视角：您是否有偏好的理论方法，如系统思维、后人类主义、加速主义或韧性理论，作为本研究的框架？

现有著作或影响：是否有任何关键的书籍、作者或论文已经影响了您的思考？还是我应该从第一性原理出发进行构建？

深度与广度：您倾向于对较少文献进行极详细的探索（深入研读关键著作），还是在缩小范围前尽可能广泛扫描相关文献？

方法论偏好：虽然滚雪球研究法是核心，但您是否希望我纳入任何正式方法论，如文献计量分析、历史比较分析或定性元分析？

请告知您的想法，我将据此开始研究。

我：

请采取广泛、跨学科的方法。

根据你深入且迭代的研究决定合适的范围层次。

根据你深入且迭代的研究决定合适的理论视角。

从第一性原理出发构建你的思路。

在深度与广度之间取得平衡。

请同时使用历史比较分析法。

ChatGPT Dissertation Writing using Deep Research

OpenAI o1-pro with Deep Research

You are a brilliant PhD student writing your PhD. As the final dissertation will consist of

several chapters and will be around 70,000 words long you are breaking this down into a

number of sub tasks.

This is sub task 1.

Each following sub task will focus on one of the dissertation’s chapters.

Below you will find the research questions guiding the dissertation and specific details for

this subtask.

You should use a snowball approach to your research, following leads in available literature

to develop your ideas and understanding until you reach a saturation point.

You should demonstrate deep scholarship in your research. Your goal is to be creative and

insightful in teasing out new and potentially transformative knowledge from your research

through the dissertation, and the map you develop in this first sub task should guide each

subsequent subtask in achieving this.

The final dissertation should result in you significantly extending the boundaries of what is

known in three interconnected areas. These will represent the three core research chapters

of your work. Other chapters will be needed before and after these to provide the context

and justification for your guiding research questions and to draw the dissertation together.

Your research methods should be grounded in a deep dive into all relevant academic and

scholarly literature, again using a snowball approach until saturation is reached; using your

brilliant scholarship and intellect to draw out new knowledge and insights from

connections and patterns within and across the literature; and using your intellect and

deep scholarship to synthesize these into clear, original and impactful knowledge outputs.

You should ground your approach in philosophy but not be bound by this – taking an

approach that transcends disciplinary boundaries to generate new knowledge and insights.====================

SUB TASK 1

===================

In this sub task you will be conducting deep and iterative research to develop the

intellectual and scholarly foundations for your dissertation, develop a detailed outline, and

create a map that will guide each subsequent sub task.

Your research should be deep and comprehensive. It should draw on academic and

scholarly papers, books and other publications.

You should use a snowball approach in your research where you follow new leads until you

reach saturation. Prioritize reaching saturation over how long the research takes.

When your research is complete I would like you to deliver the following:

1. 2. 3. A detailed outline of the final dissertation, including chapters and summaries of

what each chapter will focus on

A full, complete and comprehensive list of all relevant academic and scholarly

papers, books and other publications

A full and comprehensive but highly condensed map of the dissertation that

includes your research, the novel knowledge contributions that you will make in the

dissertation, and detailed notes for writing the dissertation. This will guide you in

future sub tasks. It does not need to be understandable to a human, but it must be

fully understandable to you. Condense as much as is needed to make this as short

as possible while not losing any information were you to be given it at a later date as

a map for carrying out research on future sub tasks.

Use Harvard style formatting.====================

DISSERTATION GUIDING QUESTIONS

===================

The overarching question of the dissertation is:

Can humanity survive the emerging polycrisis of environmental stressors, sociopolitical

upheaval, and technological acceleration?

This encompasses three sub-questions:

1. 2. 3. Is there evidence that humanity is entering a period of polycrisis that is unlike any

previous point in history? What are the dimensions of the emerging polycrisis, how

do they individually and synergistically potentially impact society, where are the

commonalities and points of departure from previous points in history, and what

can be learned from the past?

How might human survival be understood in the context of this research? What are

emergent concepts and ideas around human survival and flourishing, and how are

they informed by history? What can be learned from thinking at the edge of the

distribution rather than in the mainstream.

How can humanity at a global scale begin to think about approaches to surviving the

emerging polycrisis? What are the philosophical, social, political and economic

frames and factors that are likely to inform thinking and actions?

The dissertation should be grounded in scholarship and philosophical thought. Your

research method should draw on a wide range of sources and thought that span human

history — up to the present — to generate new ideas, understanding, and insights.

Questions from Deep Research after the prompt above and before research and

writing began:

Deep Research:

Before I begin the deep research for this foundational subtask, could you clarify a few

points to ensure I align precisely with your vision:1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Philosophical Foundations: Are there any specific philosophical traditions,

thinkers, or frameworks you would like me to prioritize, or should I take a broad and

interdisciplinary approach?

Interdisciplinary Scope: Given that this dissertation transcends disciplinary

boundaries, are there particular fields (e.g., environmental science, political

philosophy, systems theory, complexity science) that should receive special

attention?

Preferred Theoretical Lenses: Do you have any preferred theoretical approaches,

such as systems thinking, post-humanism, accelerationism, or resilience theory,

that should frame this research?

Existing Works or Influences: Are there any key books, authors, or papers that

have influenced your thinking so far, or should I build from first principles?

Depth vs. Breadth: Do you prefer an extremely detailed exploration of fewer

sources (deep-dive into key works) or a broader scan of as much relevant literature

as possible before narrowing down?

Methodological Preferences: While the snowball research method is central,

would you like me to incorporate any formal methodologies such as bibliometric

analysis, historical comparative analysis, or qualitative meta-analysis?

Let me know your thoughts, and I will commence the research accordingly.

Me:

1. 2. 3. 4. Please take a broad and interdisciplinary approach

Decide on an appropriate level of scope based on your deep and iterative research

Decide on an appropriate theoretical lens based on your deep and iterative research

Build your thinking up from first principles 5. Somewhere in the middle 6. Please

also use historical comparative analysis
