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.

1. 起源之谜 倘若你问一个胚胎细胞是如何分化成不同的组织、器官,为什么一个细胞可以既可以变成骨骼,又可以变成肌肉、皮肤、血液,如果你再追问,人类是怎么来的?猴子是怎么来的?地球是怎么来的?大爆炸是怎么来的?奇点又是怎么来的? 那么你完全可以去问老子,而古希腊...

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...

内容还是很好的,就是读的不太通顺。也不是所有的哲学类书籍都要翻译的那么艰涩,艰涩并不等于有深意啊。

柏拉圖竟然傳閑話說芝諾和蘇格拉底有一腿??? 寫法優秀有趣。

以悖論作為哲學史的棱鏡。渴盼作者有更多數理方麵的探究。
