Julian Baggini presents 100 of the most interesting thought experiments: short scenarios which pose a problem in a vivid and concrete way, and invites the reader to think about possible answers for him/herself. Experiments cover identity, religion, art, ethics, language, knowledge and many more. In every case, Baggini sets the problem up for the reader, and then offers some ways of approaching it. There are rarely 'right' or 'wrong' answers (though some answers are better than others), but the real point is in the exploration of the question. From Zeno's paradox to Groundhog Day (how do you make sense of a life of eternal recurrence?), via the pig that wants to be eaten (so should you eat him?), Plato's cave, Minority Report (is it right to punish people for what they are going to do, but haven't yet done?), and an American Werewolf in London (how can we tell whether we are awake or dreaming?), this book makes philosophy not only mind-stretching but also entertaining.
Julian Baggini is the editor and co-founder of The Philosophers' Magazine. He writes regularly for the Guardian, Independent and Independent on Sunday, Prospect and the TES, and has appeared on Nightwaves and In Our Time. He is the author of several books on philosophy, including What's It All About? Philosophy and the Meaning of Life (Granta), Making Sense: Philosophy Behind the Headlines (OUP) and Atheism: A Very Short Introduction (OUP).
在朱利安·巴吉尼的另外一本书《你以为你以为的就是你以为的吗》里,早已领略的作者对于诸如“一头想要被吃掉的猪”类的奇葩问题,对他们的讨论,往往能够得到意想不到的结果。 对于哲学问题,由于我们惯性思维的作祟,在许多情况下的思考会偏离真正的方向,而趋于所谓...
评分文:头妈 一个素食主义者,面对一只希望主动献身于人类餐桌的猪,他该怎么办? 你在ATM机上原本要取100元,但却拿到了1000元,收据和账户一切正常,也没有某个人受损失,你会拿吗? 一辆失控的列车在轨道上疾驰,一边是40个在隧道里施工的工人,一边只有5个。如果你能拉起...
评分不好意思扫他人的兴,所以以下是我边看边吐槽的记录(x_x;) 绪论 1.不苟同为了思考而考虑所有因素,太累了,也太难了,思而不学则殆,现在于我扩大知识面优先级高于思考深度,摘着看是对这本书最大的尊重; 2.吃鸡的问题类似奇葩说的恶劣天气点外卖辩论 正片 1.第一观感:杂...
评分这是本我读大学时很喜欢的书,可碍于里面有一百个思想实验(虽然很多类似),那时觉得不好归纳,也就没记录什么。 几年后再翻翻,依然觉得颇具趣味。 身为外行看所谓哲学问题,为什么吸引人,是因为它经常出现吊诡的地方,或者两者皆可的答案(康德的二论相悖) 现在随便写...
评分作为哲学入门书籍,我宁愿当年选择的是这本,而不是《苏菲的世界》。《苏菲的世界》更偏向于哲学史,但要让初学者了解哲学,我认为从兴趣入手。让人自发地思考,这才是哲学的目的不是么?我喜欢这本书,每晚翻一翻,像在睡前给大脑一个‘马杀鸡’
