Why I Am Not a Christian is considered one of the most blasphemous philosophical documents ever written, and at a time when we have faith schools and wars over religious beliefs, its message today couldn't be more relevant. If religion provides comfortable responses to the questions that have always beset humankind - why are we here, what is the point of being alive, how ought we to behave - then Russell snatches that comfort away, leaving us instead with other, more troublesome alternatives: responsibility, autonomy, self-awareness. If it were possible to sum up this book in a sentence, then it would be that the time to live is now, the place to live is here, and the way to be happy is to ensure others are happy. And what it all boils down to, is that disbelief is but a matter of believing. Ranked alongside Voltaire's Candide, Tom Paine's Age of Reason, Martin Scorsese's The Last Temptation of Christ, and Monty Python's The Life of Brian, Bertrand Russell's Why I Am Not a Christian has made some odd bedfellows over the years. While its tone is playful and frivolous, it poses tough questions over the nature of religion and belief.
1. 出版信息:[英]罗素:《为什么我不是基督教徒:宗教和有关问题论文集》,徐奕春、胡溪、渔仁译,北京:商务印书馆2012年版。(根据卢德里奇出版社2004年版译出) 2. 罗素对于宗教的批评主要是从社会伦理的层面展开的,即宗教如何限制了人的选择,但即使不存在一种社会伦...
评分以前看过罗素的《幸福之路》,觉得写得非常好,很受启发。现在这本书是罗素关于宗教及相关问题的一个论文集,不是完整体系的一本书。有若干篇觉得还是很好,不过也有几篇感觉写得深奥了点,是我现在的认知水平所不能完全领会的--这当然并不算是一件出奇的事情。罗素本身是哲学...
评分宗教源于一种恐惧,即死后的虚空与未知的茫然。这种心理是合理的。联想到圣经中的经文,在爱中没有恐惧,也就从侧面解释了这个宗教缘起的可能性。但不能就此认为只是人作为个体存在的一种孤独与恐怖的情感,我总相信还有什么先验的东西在支撑着我们去信仰。这个先验意识的存在...
评分书名非常具有说明性,全书由罗素的演讲及论文构成,并不是通书构建性地对书名这一问题的阐述,而是这一句那一句,时而深浅时而东西地拼凑起来。对于非教徒人士而言,这也多少算做自己无信仰之佐证,但如果打算以此为契机深入地思考有关信仰与神灵的话题,则一定要看一些关于信...
评分吃货总会面临这样两难:鲜美的河豚肉和致命的毒素,在《入殓师》里有句台词“好吃得让人为难”,这就是我阅读这本书最大的感受。 这样一本书既有闪耀着理性光辉的雄辩又有自以为是的浅薄,既有痛快淋漓的宗教批判,又有佶屈聱牙的闪烁言辞,这样一本书好看得让人为难...
但凡我看懂了的部分,80%都觉得牛逼。
评分Thomas Paine与华盛顿的背叛一章,以及Russell被纽约地区法庭判决的一章,太有意思了
评分We ought to stand up and look the world frankly in the face. The world needs a fearless outlook and a free intelligence. It needs hope for the future, not looking back all the time toward a past that is dead.
评分#理性思维之光!辩论技巧炫爆了!我爱古老伟大的灵魂
评分Thought - provoking. Reason is magical
