Julian Baggini is the editor and co-founder of The Philosophers' Magazine. He writes regularly for the Guardian, Independent and Independent on Sunday, Prospect and the TES, and has appeared on Nightwaves and In Our Time. He is the author of several books on philosophy, including What's It All About? Philosophy and the Meaning of Life (Granta), Making Sense: Philosophy Behind the Headlines (OUP) and Atheism: A Very Short Introduction (OUP).
Julian Baggini presents 100 of the most interesting thought experiments: short scenarios which pose a problem in a vivid and concrete way, and invites the reader to think about possible answers for him/herself. Experiments cover identity, religion, art, ethics, language, knowledge and many more. In every case, Baggini sets the problem up for the reader, and then offers some ways of approaching it. There are rarely 'right' or 'wrong' answers (though some answers are better than others), but the real point is in the exploration of the question. From Zeno's paradox to Groundhog Day (how do you make sense of a life of eternal recurrence?), via the pig that wants to be eaten (so should you eat him?), Plato's cave, Minority Report (is it right to punish people for what they are going to do, but haven't yet done?), and an American Werewolf in London (how can we tell whether we are awake or dreaming?), this book makes philosophy not only mind-stretching but also entertaining.

评分我想,我在豆瓣是个毋庸置疑的老女人,并且不用跑去第三方翻用户的年龄结构。 这本书里面提到的哲学问题,黑格尔1817年出版的《小逻辑》已经讨论过,舍尔巴茨基的《佛教逻辑》也涉及过,因为两本都讲了很多哲学的基本问题,一些小的基本问题。 就如同一名父亲或...
评分 评分在谈论思想实验之前,我不妨先提一个问题:假如,不给任何工具,要你证明宇宙究竟是有限还是无限,你打算怎么做? 在2000年前,古罗马哲学家卢克莱修是这么做的:他问,假如宇宙是有限的,你走到宇宙尽头,使劲掷出一支矛,那会出现什么?只有两种情况,弹回来,或者继续往前...
评分本书列举了一百个书中牵扯到的哲学问题,并给予了分析,不一定会分析出答案,但总可以引发有心人的思考。 本书一个优点就是采用关联式的写法,每个问题讨论完后,都会列举出与之相关的问题的章节,如此锁链式阅读,可以进一步引导读者的思考广度。 是很适合有心思考的人看的一...
