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.

讀後感

評分

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...

无穷的开始算是一本哲学书,其中夹带着很多物理知识,看的是原版书,很多内容没有完全明白。该书有两点感悟。第一人类的发展过程归结于对社会未知现象的解释,第二人类取得重大进步,和乐观的态度有很大关系。 人类刚诞生不久,对自然世界一无所知,所以人类过得很艰难。后来...  

評分

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。  

評分

看完全书后,作者戴维·多伊奇宏大的企图昭然若揭:尽管身为理论物理学家,但在本书中他试图下定义、作解释的不仅是科学领域,而是整个人类文明,甚至包括未来尚未出现的文明。 在我看来,多伊奇是个充满激情的乐观主义者。他从未被无限宇宙的庞大与遥不可测吓倒,也从未被人...

严格意义上,这也不是一篇针对本书的书评,但这本书确实可以串联起一系列的阅读经验,姑且放在这里了。 在我有限的阅读半径中,经历过两次重大的跃迁,改变我对世界的认知方式和思维路径。 第一次是贾雷德·戴蒙德的《枪炮、病菌与钢铁》。在我即将从学校跨入社会,小心翼翼地...  

用戶評價

评分

和前作The Fabric of Reality一樣精彩,David Deutsch用此書進一步詮釋瞭自己的世界觀,嚴密的邏輯讓我被徹底徵服瞭,說醍醐灌頂並不為過。沒有瞭對人生意義的質疑,充滿瞭對科學和進步的信心。這信心不是來自於以往科學的成就,而是來自於他的哲學。所以說三觀真的很重要。提綱挈領的一本書。好書的一條標準就是提供瞭一個學習的目錄——它的觸手伸嚮哪裏,有的放矢

评分

把道金斯、霍金一頓批,作者對人類特彆有信心,也不盲目,希望如此吧。寫作很僵硬,讀著像在做邏輯題。

评分

Blinkist掃過。可喜的是越來越多的人開始接觸和瞭解科學哲學,其中包括許多優秀的科學傢自己走齣專業的象牙塔開始創作更普世化的科普讀物,而且是從宏觀理論甚至形而上層麵而不是單一知識領域層麵來拓展和加深大眾對於科學甚至科學哲學的認知。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.
