“Science”,或者说“科学”,在更多时候成为一种让人用来佐证自己观点的武器,而至于科学的研究是否为真,倒成了不太让人在意的事情。一页中的两句话非常讽刺好笑,第一句是“Many Marxists are keen to insist that historical materialism is a science”,第二句是“ It is the facts that are presumed...“Science”,或者说“科学”,在更多时候成为一种让人用来佐证自己观点的武器,而至于科学的研究是否为真,倒成了不太让人在意的事情。一页中的两句话非常讽刺好笑,第一句是“Many Marxists are keen to insist that historical materialism is a science”,第二句是“ It is the facts that are presumed to determine the superiority of Einstein's innovations over previous views on relativity, and anyone who fails to appreciate this is simply wrong”。(展开)

摆在手边太久没看,因为背景知识太熟无新意,这两天还是过了一遍,确保无生词。

科学哲学的科普书,Chalmers把别人的观点嚼碎了,汇总到一起,用更易懂的语句喂给你,入门看看当个乐子可以。建议批判性去读,因为Chalmers也有曲解了原本别人的观点,比如anti-realism和realism这一章,他paraphrase时就忽略了原作者对rationality的强调。距离我看完过了太久,记不太清了。这本书有中译版,但不建议只读中译版,最好看英文为主,中译版仅仅起辅助作用。... 科学哲学的科普书,Chalmers把别人的观点嚼碎了,汇总到一起,用更易懂的语句喂给你,入门看看当个乐子可以。建议批判性去读,因为Chalmers也有曲解了原本别人的观点,比如anti-realism和realism这一章,他paraphrase时就忽略了原作者对rationality的强调。距离我看完过了太久,记不太清了。这本书有中译版,但不建议只读中译版,最好看英文为主,中译版仅仅起辅助作用。因为我记得在读的时候,很多翻译并不恰当,或者说没有把Chalmers想表达的意思翻译出来。 (展开)
