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.
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...
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...
评分To be or not to be? That’s a question. 哲学家告诉我们,此岸到彼岸有多长,一生就有多长。莎士比亚则暗示我们,人的一生有多长,就意味着被哈姆雷特式问题困扰的时间有多长。 实际上,此岸和彼岸对于人生是远远不够的,而人的一生面临的很多选择和困惑也都是耗尽生命也找不...
