罗伊·索伦森,英国达特茅斯大学哲学教授。
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.
内容还是很好的,就是读的不太通顺。也不是所有的哲学类书籍都要翻译的那么艰涩,艰涩并不等于有深意啊。
评分正如简介中所做的假设,你先假设了上帝能创造一块石头这个条件,又假设了上帝不能搬动这个条件,回头你问上帝能不能创造一块他搬不动的石头,本身就是把上帝‘能’与‘不能’混淆在一起,能不能都让你占了,不悖论才怪。 不把所有事情捋顺,而试图把自己和他人都说晕,这本身就...
评分当我写了一篇论文,来论证我写的不是论文,那这还是一篇论文吗? 这其实是个“说谎者悖论”的变化模式。最早的悖论可以追溯到公元前6世纪古希腊人埃匹门尼德,他说了一句著名的话:“所有的克里特岛人都说谎。”由于他本人也是一名克里特岛人,从这句话真可推出它假...
评分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...
