(去年书刚出版时整理的清单,已经记不清有多少是出自本书有多少是他在其他场合说的,不过都挺有意思的。) 1. 科学的本质就是,在公众面前犯错,在众目睽睽下犯错,以期他人能够帮助修正这些错误。 2. 如果为了确保自己的孩子在长大成人后依然能够奉行你的信仰,从而不得不诓...
评分谁是丹尼尔·丹尼特 运用最新科学成果研究心智和意识问题的哲学家、无神论四骑士和新达尔文主义者、决定论和自由意志相容论者 如果以上几句话涉及的术语你没听说过,那么这本书可能不适合你,因为这不是一本营销人士宣称的提高智力的通用思考工具书,而是表达丹尼特观点的专用...
评分很少在豆瓣写评论,这次真的想写一写。 心理学的书籍读的多一些,但是关于哲学,好像真的很少去读。总觉得哲学甚是玄妙,离我们的生活有点遥远。一时半会儿也说不清楚到底什么才是哲学。如果《苏菲的世界》是一本哲学书的话,那我也算是入了个门。一本《西方哲学史》只看了个开...

评分1.很早就听闻丹尼尔•丹尼特的大名与其这本大作,等了三年终于等到湛庐引进的中文版。但说实话,作者的“丹式幽默”严重影响了我的阅读体验。每每讲着一个思想实验,就七弯八绕拐出去解释下这个概念,补充下那个知识点,再揶揄下反对者的意见,就不能先简洁明了地把自己的观...

One of the world’s leading philosophers offers aspiring thinkers his personal trove of mind-stretching thought experiments.
Over a storied career, Daniel C. Dennett has engaged questions about science and the workings of the mind. His answers have combined rigorous argument with strong empirical grounding. And a lot of fun.
Intuition Pumps and Other Tools for Thinking offers seventy-seven of Dennett’s most successful "imagination-extenders and focus-holders" meant to guide you through some of life’s most treacherous subject matter: evolution, meaning, mind, and free will. With patience and wit, Dennett deftly deploys his thinking tools to gain traction on these thorny issues while offering readers insight into how and why each tool was built.
Alongside well-known favorites like Occam’s Razor and reductio ad absurdum lie thrilling descriptions of Dennett’s own creations: Trapped in the Robot Control Room, Beware of the Prime Mammal, and The Wandering Two-Bitser. Ranging across disciplines as diverse as psychology, biology, computer science, and physics, Dennett’s tools embrace in equal measure light-heartedness and accessibility as they welcome uninitiated and seasoned readers alike. As always, his goal remains to teach you how to "think reliably and even gracefully about really hard questions."
A sweeping work of intellectual seriousness that’s also studded with impish delights, Intuition Pumps offers intrepid thinkers—in all walks of life—delicious opportunities to explore their pet ideas with new powers.
going meta。好像很有用,可是写得太无聊放那好久去看其他更有意思的书了
评分Dan是个有趣的人,是个啰嗦的人

评分评丹尼特对感质(qualia)的取消论:在丹尼特的写作中有一股显流和一股潜流。表面上他是在批判像内格尔、Jackson这样的人的实在论的感质论,深层的目标是要解构他心目中的现象学,即“基于第一人称的经验展开的哲学”。对于前一个任务,他是比较成功的,关键在于引入了自我意识中当下的知识和对过去的记忆都不可作为真实性的基准这一洞见。由此,对经验的第一人称描述就和第三人称描述一样是可错的,意识既不对自己完全透明,也不对他人完全封闭。但这一结论在多大程度上是对现象学的反驳,这是另一个问题。现象学本就没有预设实在论层面上的私人经验,它反对任何以“上帝之眼”设定的实在性;我们之所以有实在感,正是因为我们的记忆内容可以很方便地设为基准——与丹尼特所说不同,我们的记忆在某种意义上是确凿的,因为技术设定其如此。
评分挺好的一本书,讲思维工具,意义,意识和自由意志。
