Can God create a stone too heavy for him to lift? Can time have a beginning? Which came first, the chicken or the egg? Riddles, paradoxes, conundrums--for millennia the human mind has found such knotty logical problems both perplexing and irresistible. Now Roy Sorensen offers the first narrative history of paradoxes, a fascinating and eye-opening account that extends from the ancient Greeks, through the Middle Ages, the Enlightenment, and into the twentieth century. When Augustine asked what God was doing before He made the world, he was told: "Preparing hell for people who ask questions like that." A Brief History of the Paradox takes a close look at "questions like that" and the philosophers who have asked them, beginning with the folk riddles that inspired Anaximander to erect the first metaphysical system and ending with such thinkers as Lewis Carroll, Ludwig Wittgenstein, and W.V. Quine. Organized chronologically, the book is divided into twenty-four chapters, each of which pairs a philosopher with a major paradox, allowing for extended consideration and putting a human face on the strategies that have been taken toward these puzzles. Readers get to follow the minds of Zeno, Socrates, Aquinas, Ockham, Pascal, Kant, Hegel, and many other major philosophers deep inside the tangles of paradox, looking for, and sometimes finding, a way out. Filled with illuminating anecdotes and vividly written, A Brief History of the Paradox will appeal to anyone who finds trying to answer unanswerable questions a paradoxically pleasant endeavor.

读后感
因为中间别的事情多，断断续续读了这么多天，总算把第一遍扫下来了。读的时候还是挺费脑筋的，不停地回顾早被扔到一边的数学方面的知识。看到不少集合论和数理逻辑，后来还出现了图灵的大名，蛮有一种亲切感，呵呵。本人是学计算机的。坦白地说，读得太快，好多地方没仔细看明...
评分影响我阅读心情的是翻译，不能说很差吧，应该是很烂！ 语句很欧化，读着读着都去纠结翻译者带给我的拗口语言了。 书本来应该很好，很通俗的读物，竟然被翻译成如此晦涩难懂的东西！
评分有些句子翻译的很不行，句子结构就不对。书是好书，悖论很迷人，一下子有这么多悖论，兴奋。维特根斯坦的PI故事···············
评分1. 起源之谜 倘若你问一个胚胎细胞是如何分化成不同的组织、器官，为什么一个细胞可以既可以变成骨骼，又可以变成肌肉、皮肤、血液，如果你再追问，人类是怎么来的？猴子是怎么来的？地球是怎么来的？大爆炸是怎么来的？奇点又是怎么来的？ 那么你完全可以去问老子，而古希腊...
评分悖论对应着某些数学家和数学的本体，因此悖论被认为是荒谬的，但是他们确实存在着，还有不少呢！！悖论不仅是具有过分的难处，还有难以解决的好处，因此我们将之称为悖论的，不仅不是“悖论”，反而是成果丰富的。
