In the wake of his enormously popular books The Armchair Economist and More Sex Is Safer Sex , Slate columnist and Economics professor Steven Landsburg uses concepts from mathematics, economics, and physics to address the big questions in philosophy: What is real? What can we know? What is the difference between right and wrong? And how should we live? Landsburg begins with the broadest possible categories from a mathematical analysis of the arguments for the existence of God; to the real meaning of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle and the Godel Incompleteness Theorem; to the moral choices we face in the marketplace and the voting booth. Stimulating, illuminating, and always surprising, The Big Questions challenges readers to re-evaluate their most fundamental beliefs and reveals the relationship between the loftiest philosophical quests and our everyday lives.

用经济学数学和物理学的方式阐述哲学问题。读完发现，相比这几门学科，一般的文科工具在阐述这类“大问题”的时候实在非常没效率。PS：这本书的中译本删改很多，极不推荐。

勉强算读完，由于数学太差导致一堆XXX定理都完全不能明白是在说什么。。不过用数学物理经济学的方法论来解释哲学问题这个想法我很喜欢。。好吧，文科生只配说想法很喜欢。。

很快的看过前面的几章，感觉论证很牵强，放弃

看到豆瓣上的推荐，买来读的。把经济学和数学物理哲学联系起来，很有启发性，一些伦理学上的例子想起来也很有趣。可总体没有想象中得那么 惊艳。
