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).

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...
评分本书列举了一百个书中牵扯到的哲学问题,并给予了分析,不一定会分析出答案,但总可以引发有心人的思考。 本书一个优点就是采用关联式的写法,每个问题讨论完后,都会列举出与之相关的问题的章节,如此锁链式阅读,可以进一步引导读者的思考广度。 是很适合有心思考的人看的一...
评分每个故事都能引人深思! 哲学家的存在意义是为了什么呢?Science让人类的生活过得更好、更方便、更健康,但是Philosophy有什么意义呢? 活得聪明一点,是不是一定会比活得糊涂一点更好? 这我不知道。 我只知道思辨的过程非常好玩!因此我把这本书看作是在介绍哲学家之中非常...
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...
