This is a charming and insightful contribution to an understanding of the "Science Wars" between postmodernist humanism and science, driving toward a resolution of the mutual misunderstanding that has driven the controversy. It traces the root of postmodern theory to a debate on the foundations of mathematics early in the 20th century, then compares developments in mathematics to what took place in the arts and humanities, discussing issues as diverse as literary theory, arts, and artificial intelligence. This is a straightforward, easily understood presentation of what can be difficult theoretical concepts It demonstrates that a pattern of misreading mathematics can be seen both on the part of science and on the part of postmodern thinking. This is a humorous, playful yet deeply serious look at the intellectual foundations of mathematics for those in the humanities and the perfect critical introduction to the bases of modernism and postmodernism for those in the sciences.

評分至少對數學思想除瞭曆史流變層麵上的敘述之外,沒有顯齣更多深入的性質。或許作者止於評述這些性質對他的目的就已足夠。

評分關於後現代哲學的語言學轉嚮,書裏有如下評論:“一般的觀點是,一個離散的語言結構不知怎麼建構瞭連續統,並因此代替瞭個體心靈的角色。以前被認為是人類心靈的自由、自發的構造,現在被語言自身的‘隨機性’和‘不可決定性’所代替。” 這個話說得挺簡潔而且也夠精確,我就...
