Can God create a stone too heavy for him to lift? Can time have a beginning? Which came first, the chicken or the egg? Riddles, paradoxes, conundrums--for millennia the human mind has found such knotty logical problems both perplexing and irresistible. Now Roy Sorensen offers the first narrative history of paradoxes, a fascinating and eye-opening account that extends from the ancient Greeks, through the Middle Ages, the Enlightenment, and into the twentieth century. When Augustine asked what God was doing before He made the world, he was told: "Preparing hell for people who ask questions like that." A Brief History of the Paradox takes a close look at "questions like that" and the philosophers who have asked them, beginning with the folk riddles that inspired Anaximander to erect the first metaphysical system and ending with such thinkers as Lewis Carroll, Ludwig Wittgenstein, and W.V. Quine. Organized chronologically, the book is divided into twenty-four chapters, each of which pairs a philosopher with a major paradox, allowing for extended consideration and putting a human face on the strategies that have been taken toward these puzzles. Readers get to follow the minds of Zeno, Socrates, Aquinas, Ockham, Pascal, Kant, Hegel, and many other major philosophers deep inside the tangles of paradox, looking for, and sometimes finding, a way out. Filled with illuminating anecdotes and vividly written, A Brief History of the Paradox will appeal to anyone who finds trying to answer unanswerable questions a paradoxically pleasant endeavor.

影响我阅读心情的是翻译,不能说很差吧,应该是很烂! 语句很欧化,读着读着都去纠结翻译者带给我的拗口语言了。 书本来应该很好,很通俗的读物,竟然被翻译成如此晦涩难懂的东西!

正如简介中所做的假设,你先假设了上帝能创造一块石头这个条件,又假设了上帝不能搬动这个条件,回头你问上帝能不能创造一块他搬不动的石头,本身就是把上帝‘能’与‘不能’混淆在一起,能不能都让你占了,不悖论才怪。 不把所有事情捋顺,而试图把自己和他人都说晕,这本身就...

悖论对应着某些数学家和数学的本体,因此悖论被认为是荒谬的,但是他们确实存在着,还有不少呢!!悖论不仅是具有过分的难处,还有难以解决的好处,因此我们将之称为悖论的,不仅不是“悖论”,反而是成果丰富的。

以悖论作为哲学史的棱镜。渴盼作者有更多数理方面的探究。
