touched by such passionate optimism
评分touched by such passionate optimism
评分和前作The Fabric of Reality一样精彩,David Deutsch用此书进一步诠释了自己的世界观,严密的逻辑让我被彻底征服了,说醍醐灌顶并不为过。没有了对人生意义的质疑,充满了对科学和进步的信心。这信心不是来自于以往科学的成就,而是来自于他的哲学。所以说三观真的很重要。提纲挈领的一本书。好书的一条标准就是提供了一个学习的目录——它的触手伸向哪里,有的放矢
评分Blinkist扫过。可喜的是越来越多的人开始接触和了解科学哲学,其中包括许多优秀的科学家自己走出专业的象牙塔开始创作更普世化的科普读物,而且是从宏观理论甚至形而上层面而不是单一知识领域层面来拓展和加深大众对于科学甚至科学哲学的认知。Seek critical thought, conjecture and good explanations. Knowledge from experience&theories. Good ideas replicate. systems of knowledge jumps to universality. rational&democratic group decision making is impossible. optimist.

Born in Haifa, Israel, David Deutsch was educated at Cambridge and Oxford universities. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society and a professor of physics at the University of Oxford, where he is a member of the Centre for Quantum Computation. His many honors include the Institute of Physics' Paul Dirac Prize and Medal. The author of The Fabric of Reality, he lives in England.
This is a bold and all-embracing exploration of the nature and progress of knowledge from one of today's great thinkers. Throughout history, mankind has struggled to understand life's mysteries, from the mundane to the seemingly miraculous. In this important new book, David Deutsch, an award-winning pioneer in the field of quantum computation, argues that explanations have a fundamental place in the universe. They have unlimited scope and power to cause change, and the quest to improve them is the basic regulating principle not only of science but of all successful human endeavor. This stream of ever improving explanations has infinite reach, according to Deutsch: we are subject only to the laws of physics, and they impose no upper boundary to what we can eventually understand, control, and achieve. In his previous book, "The Fabric of Reality", Deutsch describes the four deepest strands of existing knowledge - the theories of evolution, quantum physics, knowledge, and computation-arguing jointly they reveal a unified fabric of reality. In this new book, he applies that worldview to a wide range of issues and unsolved problems, from creativity and free will to the origin and future of the human species. Filled with startling new conclusions about human choice, optimism, scientific explanation, and the evolution of culture, "The Beginning of Infinity" is a groundbreaking book that will become a classic of its kind.
非常精彩,体现了物理学家解释无穷宇宙的终极雄心。多伊奇高举波普尔猜想与反驳的大旗,论证了人类通过创造知识,在并不宜居的地球上生存。他比较了生物的适应性进化和人类知识的创造,其差异在于人类的知识是解释性的,可以无限延伸。他对谜米的进化做出了精彩的论述。 在我看...
评分基本的想法是说人类的进步从启蒙运动开始,速度越来越快。基本的原因是科学的进步(作者解释为人类寻求“好解释”的本能)。比较深奥,我又是在过年老家中和回来的路上看的,环境不够安静,很多地方没看懂。 基本确定没看懂是因为我水平不够,而不是作者写的不好。因为涉及到...
评分1.所谓“知识”,是指对一个事件很好的解读视角。 2.知识的源头是猜想,所谓“知识”,也可以解读为通过证明保留下来的猜想。 3.知识形成的决定性因素是怀疑猜想的能力。始终怀有“根据事实调整观念”的思维倾向是很好的批判能力。 4.创造力与批判力也符合“用进废退”原理,不...

评分作者是量子物理学家,全书是他对世界、历史、科学的看法和思考。科学事实和哲学思辨差不多各占一半的篇幅,读起来有点烧脑,也有点枯燥,内容比较发散。 作者认为,人类解决不完所有的问题,总是解决了老问题发现新问题,不存在完全没有问题的极乐世界,也不会有某些时刻人类更...
