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.
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).

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...

评分里面有100个让人想破头的哲学故事 当然不是个个都值得看,好看 至少从我的角度来说 里面有好几个故事我都没想明白 也不想去想明白 也不是光想就能明白的 毕竟,我们没有办法向另一个人解释他没有见过的东西 比如我们没有办法向一个没有见过蓝色的人解释蓝色是一种什么颜色一...
