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.
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...
评分在朱利安·巴吉尼的另外一本书《你以为你以为的就是你以为的吗》里,早已领略的作者对于诸如“一头想要被吃掉的猪”类的奇葩问题,对他们的讨论,往往能够得到意想不到的结果。 对于哲学问题,由于我们惯性思维的作祟,在许多情况下的思考会偏离真正的方向,而趋于所谓...
评分当一头经过基因改造、既能讲话又希望自己被吃掉的猪站在素食主义者马克斯面前时,他不再能肯定是不是应该吃了它。《一头想要被吃掉的猪》里还有99个诸如此类的“思想实验”:从动物尊严到个人意识,从政治的目标到道德选择,不一而足。 朱利安·巴吉尼总是先安排了一段情境—...
评分1. 上帝对哲学家说:“我是上帝,你的神。虽然你没有证据证明,我就是我所说的神,但让我给你一个相信的理由:一个基于自我利益的赌博。这个理由将对你堕落的本性有吸引力。” “有两种可能性:我存在和我不存在。如果你信仰我,遵循我的命令,而我也存在,你将获得永生...
评分每个故事都能引人深思! 哲学家的存在意义是为了什么呢?Science让人类的生活过得更好、更方便、更健康,但是Philosophy有什么意义呢? 活得聪明一点,是不是一定会比活得糊涂一点更好? 这我不知道。 我只知道思辨的过程非常好玩!因此我把这本书看作是在介绍哲学家之中非常...
