具體描述
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.

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’
評分 評分哲学的刺激 游伟 作为哲学普及读物作者的英国哲学家朱利安•巴吉尼，其论述风格恰如我翻译的那本《你以为你以为的就是你以为的吗》绕口的书名所揭示，通过层层推进，将我们原本自以为是的观点放大到极致，展示其中的谬误，借此达到修正思想，回归健全常识、健康理性...
評分在谈论思想实验之前，我不妨先提一个问题：假如，不给任何工具，要你证明宇宙究竟是有限还是无限，你打算怎么做？ 在2000年前，古罗马哲学家卢克莱修是这么做的：他问，假如宇宙是有限的，你走到宇宙尽头，使劲掷出一支矛，那会出现什么？只有两种情况，弹回来，或者继续往前...
