"How sure can you be that you,re not dreaming right now?" "Up until now, completely sure," I responded. "Dreams aren,t really anything like reality. Dreams are, well, they,re more dreamy. You can just tell. Things happen in dreams that don,t happen in reality. Usually, anyway." The hero of The Dream Weaver, young Ian Pinkle, encounters a world full of the unknown. With the help of a mentor and a friend or two, he sheds light on some of life's most difficult questions: How do we determine morality? What is the meaning of life? Does God exist? How can we determine Truth? Fairness? What are the mind and soul like? Ian--in his playful, curious manner--addresses these questions in a way that lets readers develop their own answers, and in doing so, he guides the readers through a history of philosophical thought in a clever, conversational and even adventurous style. This allows readers to think for themselves, ask questions themselves--and to be philosophers themselves. Alongside Ian's story are annotations that connect Ian's dilemmas and insights to some of the most renowned thinkers throughout history. Whether Ian is creating universes to explore the apparent paradoxical issues of evil, or playfully addressing (and solving!) the chicken-or-the-egg question, he will provide all readers with both "a ha!" moments and moments that challenge their most firmly rooted foundations. And all the while, there's a nice little surprise waiting at the end.

在談談《織夢人》這本書之前,我想先談談我的兒子。自從他3歲以後,簡直就是個提問機器,每天都有無數的問題嚮我飛來。其中有一些問題很有意思: “媽媽,’彆人’是誰?我是不是’彆人’?” “媽媽,我是怎麼來的?你為什麼是我的媽媽?” “媽媽,鬼是什麼?怪物是什麼...
評分《織夢人》有一個很文藝的名字,卻有一個很嚴肅的內核。它是一部小說,但是,這部“小說”卻承載瞭普及哲學的功能。 這本書的結構大體上是這樣的:每一章,一個男孩都在夢裏被一個老人引領去探尋各種哲學的問題,這些問題從“真實”開始,包括靈魂、自由、信仰、科學、經濟、...
評分是織夢,還是追夢? 評《織夢人》 “與其說我是在為瞭理解我的生命而尋找夢想,不如說是在為瞭理解我的夢想而尋找生命”。這是《織夢人》書中引用一位哲人的觀點,也是我看完書最大的感悟之源:哲學,讓我們的思維更加豐富,通過思考讓我們的生活大不一樣,可能很多人運用哲...
評分《織夢人》書評 一個男孩穿越現實的哲學,很吸引人。讀本書的感覺就像跟隨一個14歲男孩伊恩一起,進行一係列奇特的遊曆。這種感覺如同電影《愛麗絲夢遊記》一般,跟隨主角共同探險,你會瞭解150多位哲學傢的觀點——從蘇格拉底、孔子到諾曼•喬姆斯基。在每一章,伊恩都...
評分絕對的好書,整閤趣味性與知識性於一體,又不會為瞭趣味而將哲學通俗化,讀完之後,會讓人對哲學的神奇而感到嘆服。 我覺得中國的很多寫通俗讀物的作者可以嚮人傢學習學習。 絕對的好書,整閤趣味性與知識性於一體,又不會為瞭趣味而將哲學通俗化,讀完之後,會讓人對哲學的神...
