具体描述
"How sure can you be that you,re not dreaming right now?" "Up until now, completely sure," I responded. "Dreams aren,t really anything like reality. Dreams are, well, they,re more dreamy. You can just tell. Things happen in dreams that don,t happen in reality. Usually, anyway." The hero of The Dream Weaver, young Ian Pinkle, encounters a world full of the unknown. With the help of a mentor and a friend or two, he sheds light on some of life's most difficult questions: How do we determine morality? What is the meaning of life? Does God exist? How can we determine Truth? Fairness? What are the mind and soul like? Ian--in his playful, curious manner--addresses these questions in a way that lets readers develop their own answers, and in doing so, he guides the readers through a history of philosophical thought in a clever, conversational and even adventurous style. This allows readers to think for themselves, ask questions themselves--and to be philosophers themselves. Alongside Ian's story are annotations that connect Ian's dilemmas and insights to some of the most renowned thinkers throughout history. Whether Ian is creating universes to explore the apparent paradoxical issues of evil, or playfully addressing (and solving!) the chicken-or-the-egg question, he will provide all readers with both "a ha!" moments and moments that challenge their most firmly rooted foundations. And all the while, there's a nice little surprise waiting at the end.

读后感
“成为一名哲学家，不仅仅是有敏锐的思想，也不仅仅是去建立某个学院，而是爱智如命。由此要过一种简朴、独立、高尚而值得依赖的人生。” “你用黑白两色看世界。就会错失一切绚丽的色彩。” “心灵不是一个等充实的容器，而是一团待点燃的火。” “怀疑...
评分谈到做梦，我们古代呀，有南柯一梦，但是梦一下就老了，也不知道南柯同志都梦到什么，想来没有我们本书（《织梦人》）中的伊恩梦到的神奇，梦到能学到如此多的哲学知识。 本书以小男孩伊恩为主人公，讲它在梦里遇到与个老人，老人对他讲述哲学知识，这当然是作者虚拟的，但作...
评分对于类如政治、经济或哲学，这些强烈需要逻辑思维及超强理解能力的学科，我从来都望而生畏。大学时所学专业是英语，平时偏爱文学。看来，我命中注定只能仰视哲学的天空了。 手上有一本哲学的启蒙之作《苏菲的世界》，未曾翻开过。前不久，偶然获赠一本中国人民大学出版社的《...
评分从上学以来留下的后遗症，每次看见哲学，就是生硬和古板的代名词，尽管其间涉及很多能让人学会懂得的理论，但还是免不了会在看哲学书的时候感到枯燥，一直都惊讶于竟然有人专攻哲学专业，但看着这样一本书，好像穿梭在一场美妙的旅程中，真有点得到的小确幸。 翻开这...
