Steven E. Landsburg is a Professor of Economics at the University of Rochester. He is the author of More Sex Is Safer Sex, The Armchair Economist, Fair Play, two textbooks on economics, and over thirty journal articles in mathematics, economics, and philosophy. He writes the popular "Everyday Economics" column in Slate magazine and has written for Forbes, the Wall Street Journal, and other publications.
In the wake of his enormously popular books The Armchair Economist and More Sex Is Safer Sex , Slate columnist and Economics professor Steven Landsburg uses concepts from mathematics, economics, and physics to address the big questions in philosophy: What is real? What can we know? What is the difference between right and wrong? And how should we live? Landsburg begins with the broadest possible categories from a mathematical analysis of the arguments for the existence of God; to the real meaning of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle and the Godel Incompleteness Theorem; to the moral choices we face in the marketplace and the voting booth. Stimulating, illuminating, and always surprising, The Big Questions challenges readers to re-evaluate their most fundamental beliefs and reveals the relationship between the loftiest philosophical quests and our everyday lives.
我在网易上看到的本书的部分内容。第一部分——什么是对的,第二部分——知识与谎言。 第一部分从与颜色的类比以及著名的铁轨、医生想象案例开始,给出了对道德的经济学分析。我自己也做过类似的分析,不过书中提到的“失忆症原则”(在我看来是旁观者原则)和明确提出将各种利...
评分2个版本的有轨电车问题,按照作者的解释就没有区别了,都是选择5个人还是1个人的两难困境。但是我觉得两个版本的区别在于那1个人究竟是先被确定好还是后来随机选择的。如果是先已被确定,那当然是选择牺牲1个人,因为死掉的概论更小了嘛。但如果是随机选择,那除了被绑在轨道上...

评分中文书名是标题党。这个反常识经济学的英文书不是一个系列,这一本的英文名是: The Big Questions:Tackling the Problems of Philosophy with Ideas from Mathematics, Economics, and Physics,可以译为:《天问:依据数学、经济学、物理学的思想来探究哲学问题》。看书名的...
Such a nice and revealling book.
评分看到豆瓣上的推荐,买来读的。把经济学和数学物理哲学联系起来,很有启发性,一些伦理学上的例子想起来也很有趣。可总体没有想象中得那么 惊艳。
评分太精彩了~!
评分用经济学数学和物理学的方式阐述哲学问题。读完发现,相比这几门学科,一般的文科工具在阐述这类“大问题”的时候实在非常没效率。PS:这本书的中译本删改很多,极不推荐。
