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.

作者多伊奇不愧当今顶级的量子物理学家,从对基本的概念讲起,用无比清晰的逻辑,阐述了最基本、最底层的问题。这种书需要认真静下心来读,收获一定不小。不必担心,书中没有深奥的理论问题,一般读者都能看明白。 作者多伊奇不愧当今顶级的量子物理学家,从对基本的概念讲起,...

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...

作者在量子力学上有一家之言(也仅仅是量子力学诠释的少数派),但一越界,基本上就是武断的自言自语了。在哲学上,作者倒是立场鲜明,但过于愤青了,除了波普尔,就没有他看得上的。有人说是鸡肋,我看基本上就是不值一提。

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...

In seek of good explanation

把道金斯、霍金一顿批,作者对人类特别有信心,也不盲目,希望如此吧。写作很僵硬,读着像在做逻辑题。

Disappointed. Where's your point?

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
