In the wake of his enormously popular books The Armchair Economist and More Sex Is Safer Sex , Slate columnist and Economics professor Steven Landsburg uses concepts from mathematics, economics, and physics to address the big questions in philosophy: What is real? What can we know? What is the difference between right and wrong? And how should we live? Landsburg begins with the broadest possible categories from a mathematical analysis of the arguments for the existence of God; to the real meaning of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle and the Godel Incompleteness Theorem; to the moral choices we face in the marketplace and the voting booth. Stimulating, illuminating, and always surprising, The Big Questions challenges readers to re-evaluate their most fundamental beliefs and reveals the relationship between the loftiest philosophical quests and our everyday lives.
Steven E. Landsburg is a Professor of Economics at the University of Rochester. He is the author of More Sex Is Safer Sex, The Armchair Economist, Fair Play, two textbooks on economics, and over thirty journal articles in mathematics, economics, and philosophy. He writes the popular "Everyday Economics" column in Slate magazine and has written for Forbes, the Wall Street Journal, and other publications.

評分“大哉问”,是《论语》里,孔子说的一句话,意思是“这是一个非常棒的问题”。林放问礼之本。子曰:“大哉问!礼,与其奢也,宁俭;丧,与其易也,宁戚。” 本书的英文名直译过来就是“大哉问”,书中的确谈到了许多非常棒的问题,作者旁征博引,涉猎广泛,数学、物...
評分逻辑的胜利在于它让人相信很多反直觉的东西是正确的,而我们的引以为傲的进步总是在反直觉的路线是越走越远,毫无疑问,逻辑带来的反直觉会吞噬直觉所占领的经典理论的领地。从科学理论到艺术理论,或者说从数学体系到物理理论,再到绘画创作,我们接受了那些丑陋但认同的规则...

評分Such a nice and revealling book.
评分勉強算讀完,由於數學太差導緻一堆XXX定理都完全不能明白是在說什麼。。不過用數學物理經濟學的方法論來解釋哲學問題這個想法我很喜歡。。好吧,文科生隻配說想法很喜歡。。
