Nigel Warburton is senior lecturer in philosophy, The Open University. He is the author of several popular introductions to philosophy and is the interviewer on the Philosophy Bites podcast. He lives in Oxford.
Philosophy begins with questions about the nature of reality and how we should live. These were the concerns of Socrates, who spent his days in the ancient Athenian marketplace asking awkward questions, disconcerting the people he met by showing them how little they genuinely understood. This engaging book introduces the great thinkers in Western philosophy and explores their most compelling ideas about the world and how best to live in it. In forty brief chapters, Nigel Warburton guides us on a chronological tour of the major ideas in the history of philosophy. He provides interesting and often quirky stories of the lives and deaths of thought-provoking philosophers from Socrates, who chose to die by hemlock poisoning rather than live on without the freedom to think for himself, to Peter Singer, who asks the disquieting philosophical and ethical questions that haunt our own times. Warburton not only makes philosophy accessible, he offers inspiration to think, argue, reason, and ask in the tradition of Socrates. "A Little History of Philosophy" presents the grand sweep of humanity's search for philosophical understanding and invites all to join in the discussion.
《哲学小史》最后一章介绍Peter Singer。他提倡安乐死,我认同;但鼓吹人类该全体吃素我就觉得有点儿扯了。 Singer大概把人类摆在很高的位置,觉得人该执行一切所谓高尚的道德标准。我觉得人类本质上跟虎豹狼虫一样,顺从自然规律荤素搭配没什么好惭愧的。 吃素吃荤是个人选择...

兩天讀完 易讀又全麵的哲學好書
评分沃伯頓真是語言錶達的大師,不求兼顧曆史上所有重要的思想流派和觀點,但求圍繞一些哲學基本問題給齣各種重要的迴答。傳記性的篇幅被控製得很少,僅僅包含瞭與哲學傢思想相關的部分,乾貨滿滿。在對哲學思想的解釋上,聯係瞭日常生活中常見的疑惑,並且以淺白的語詞、精妙的比喻來幫助非專業的讀者理解。真是好書啊。
评分真·通俗易懂短小精悍相見恨晚 ………
