Many appreciate Richard P. Feynman’s contributions to twentieth-century physics, but few realize how engaged he was with the world around himhow deeply and thoughtfully he considered the religious, political, and social issues of his day. Now, a wonderful bookbased on a previously unpublished, three-part public lecture he gave at the University of Washington in 1963shows us this other side of Feynman, as he expounds on the inherent conflict between science and religion, people’s distrust of politicians, and our universal fascination with flying saucers, faith healing, and mental telepathy. Here we see Feynman in top form: nearly bursting into a Navajo war chant, then pressing for an overhaul of the English language (if you want to know why Johnny can’t read, just look at the spelling of friend”); and, finally, ruminating on the death of his first wife from tuberculosis. This is quintessential Feynmanreflective, amusing, and ever enlightening.
(Read by Raymond Todd) 虽然是简白的演讲,但是对政治宗教的观察其实非常犀利。各处散落有意思的观点。我在见信如唔中读到NASA的Stuhlinger给一位赞比亚修女的关于Why explore space的回信,费曼也在演讲中提出了自己关于why go to the moon的答案,其实精神是一样的,但是费曼说得更好玩。费曼虽然说了很多反智的现象,但是对自由科研的前景实际上非常...(Read by Raymond Todd) 虽然是简白的演讲,但是对政治宗教的观察其实非常犀利。各处散落有意思的观点。我在见信如唔中读到NASA的Stuhlinger给一位赞比亚修女的关于Why explore space的回信,费曼也在演讲中提出了自己关于why go to the moon的答案,其实精神是一样的,但是费曼说得更好玩。费曼虽然说了很多反智的现象,但是对自由科研的前景实际上非常乐观,不知道如果是现在的话他会有什么评论呢。(展开)

I hope for freedom for future generations—freedom to doubt, to develop, to continue the adventure of finding out new ways of doing things, of solving problems. ——Feynman(展开)

分类讨论宗教与科学的矛盾与兼容 讲政治,看似系统却很模糊。这些学科已经形成他们自己的研究科学方式,本书这样只能泛泛而谈。

费曼还是很通透又放松的,本来科学也好,哲学宗教也好,社会发展也好,都以不定为定数。

因为是演讲的transcript,所以可能有点天马行空,但是话糙理不糙。
