"Bring[s] both entertainment and enlightenment to the subject of how modern philosophical thought challenged the church's doctrine on the relationship between God and man and led to democratic challenges to monarchy and the divine right of kings... Nimbly advance[s] through a little more than a century in fewer than 200 pages, presenting a primer that can instruct those new to the period while serving as a refresher for readers who have forgotten what they studied in history and philosophy."--Kirkus "A quick introduction to the basic figures and concepts of modern philosophy as it was developed in the 17th century. Rene Descartes, Francis Bacon, Baruch Spinoza, and other philosophers pop up to discuss, and sometimes argue, about the nature of matter, the existence of God, mind-body dualism, the structure of society, and even the existence of knowledge itself. The authors use quotes from the philosophers themselves and quickly place them in historical context, and the lively illustrations keep the narrative from getting bogged down."--Brigid Alverson, School Library Journal "Being a philosopher in the 17th century was a dangerous career choice. At odds with the Catholic church, Western philosophy found itself in a precarious position that would sometimes end in violence. Written by the father-son team Steven and Ben Nadler, the comic book aims to turn the trials of early scientific thought into a riveting graphic narrative. With the help of colorful illustrations and jokes, the duo is able to make complicated philosophical ideas easier to digest for a larger group of readers as well as offer up plenty of drama."--Mental Floss

評分文/夏麗檸 十七世紀的歐洲,經過漫長陰暗的中世紀,迎來瞭覺醒時代。在文藝復興的帶動下,無論是藝術還是科學,都取得瞭極大的進步。但最值得慶祝的,是人類打破瞭影響思想自由發展的教會信條的束縛!在這場曆史變革中,被視為“異端”的哲學傢,功不可沒。 《異端:進擊的哲學...
評分 評分十七世紀如果單一地提拎齣來作為我們觀望的標的,我們會覺得乏善可陳。 就西方曆史而言,文藝復興的時間大緻在14世紀—16世紀。在這個時間段中,君士坦丁堡陷落,是一個時間節點,可以視著中世紀的結束,一個對於西方曆史來說,重要的近代史的開啓。 黃仁宇所著的《萬曆十五年...
