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.
作为哲学入门书籍,我宁愿当年选择的是这本,而不是《苏菲的世界》。《苏菲的世界》更偏向于哲学史,但要让初学者了解哲学,我认为从兴趣入手。让人自发地思考,这才是哲学的目的不是么?我喜欢这本书,每晚翻一翻,像在睡前给大脑一个‘马杀鸡’
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...
评分 评分圣诞节给师父买书的时候,也顺便为自己挑了这本书。谭唯拿起随便翻了一篇,看完了说道,这人不是有病吗这。 我拿过一看,其中的一篇《布莱特的难题》,凡事依从理性的布莱德,吃光了家中所有的食物,他的家住在离两家相同超市同样近的地方,该选择去哪一家才算符合理...
评分哲学的刺激 游伟 作为哲学普及读物作者的英国哲学家朱利安•巴吉尼,其论述风格恰如我翻译的那本《你以为你以为的就是你以为的吗》绕口的书名所揭示,通过层层推进,将我们原本自以为是的观点放大到极致,展示其中的谬误,借此达到修正思想,回归健全常识、健康理性...
