"A glorious book . . . A spirited defense of science . . . From the first page to the last, this book is a manifesto for clear thought."

How can we make intelligent decisions about our increasingly technology-driven lives if we don't understand the difference between the myths of pseudoscience and the testable hypotheses of science? Pulitzer Prize-winning author and distinguished astronomer Carl Sagan argues that scientific thinking is critical not only to the pursuit of truth but to the very well-being of our democratic institutions.
Casting a wide net through history and culture, Sagan examines and authoritatively debunks such celebrated fallacies of the past as witchcraft, faith healing, demons, and UFOs. And yet, disturbingly, in today's so-called information age, pseudoscience is burgeoning with stories of alien abduction, channeling past lives, and communal hallucinations commanding growing attention and respect. As Sagan demonstrates with lucid eloquence, the siren song of unreason is not just a cultural wrong turn but a dangerous plunge into darkness that threatens our most basic freedoms.

读后感
什么是科学精神？ 先讲一段小插曲。我参加完Lia Halloran的沙龙后，问这个有着科学背景的艺术家，“你相信有外星人吗？” 她反问我有没有读过萨根的书。那个时候我一定让她想起书一开始那个自称热爱科学实则迷信的出租车司机，当我读这本书的时候完全能理解她当时的反应。 读完...
评分《魔鬼出没的世界》错译举例 ·方舟子· 《魔鬼出没的世界》（The Demon-Haunted World）是美国著名科普作家 卡尔·萨根1996年出版的一本著作。中译本由李大光译，吉林人民出版社1998 年出版。前年中央电视台“实话实说”特别节目《揭密...
评分只能说这本书是不错的科普书，用例证、类比、故事这类论证手法较多，多了一分亲和力和通俗性，但少了严谨。并且书中并没有抽象地谈论科学思维方法论，最接近的地方也就是一个例证：车库中的飞龙。然而实际上从例证到严格的、抽象的方法论，还是有相当远的距离的，同学们如果认...

推荐所有学文科的人看看，提高一下自己对科学，为科学，迷信等的认识。
评分我想读这本书 2014-12-15 和how to think straight about psychology重合地方太多了，新鲜的东西不多，但还是很适合当简单科学方法论读物的
评分全是myth，没意思
评分Ubi dubium ibi libertas: Where there is doubt, there is freedom. -Latin Proverb
评分是我读卡尔萨根的老问题，喜欢他真诚的热爱，然而对反复出现的一些话题很快就会不耐烦。有趣的地方其实也很多，讲质疑精神和民主的部分很喜欢，担心下一代科学教育不够、科学精神不过关这样下去药丸的样子也看得很感同身受，豆知识例如杰弗逊家里还摆了个汉密尔顿胸像这个事情我也是很震惊了（？？？）
