"How sure can you be that you,re not dreaming right now?" "Up until now, completely sure," I responded. "Dreams aren,t really anything like reality. Dreams are, well, they,re more dreamy. You can just tell. Things happen in dreams that don,t happen in reality. Usually, anyway." The hero of The Dream Weaver, young Ian Pinkle, encounters a world full of the unknown. With the help of a mentor and a friend or two, he sheds light on some of life's most difficult questions: How do we determine morality? What is the meaning of life? Does God exist? How can we determine Truth? Fairness? What are the mind and soul like? Ian--in his playful, curious manner--addresses these questions in a way that lets readers develop their own answers, and in doing so, he guides the readers through a history of philosophical thought in a clever, conversational and even adventurous style. This allows readers to think for themselves, ask questions themselves--and to be philosophers themselves. Alongside Ian's story are annotations that connect Ian's dilemmas and insights to some of the most renowned thinkers throughout history. Whether Ian is creating universes to explore the apparent paradoxical issues of evil, or playfully addressing (and solving!) the chicken-or-the-egg question, he will provide all readers with both "a ha!" moments and moments that challenge their most firmly rooted foundations. And all the while, there's a nice little surprise waiting at the end.

评分在谈谈《织梦人》这本书之前,我想先谈谈我的儿子。自从他3岁以后,简直就是个提问机器,每天都有无数的问题向我飞来。其中有一些问题很有意思: “妈妈,’别人’是谁?我是不是’别人’?” “妈妈,我是怎么来的?你为什么是我的妈妈?” “妈妈,鬼是什么?怪物是什么...
评分对于类如政治、经济或哲学,这些强烈需要逻辑思维及超强理解能力的学科,我从来都望而生畏。大学时所学专业是英语,平时偏爱文学。看来,我命中注定只能仰视哲学的天空了。 手上有一本哲学的启蒙之作《苏菲的世界》,未曾翻开过。前不久,偶然获赠一本中国人民大学出版社的《...
评分从上学以来留下的后遗症,每次看见哲学,就是生硬和古板的代名词,尽管其间涉及很多能让人学会懂得的理论,但还是免不了会在看哲学书的时候感到枯燥,一直都惊讶于竟然有人专攻哲学专业,但看着这样一本书,好像穿梭在一场美妙的旅程中,真有点得到的小确幸。 翻开这...
评分文/落潇 曾经老师教导我们,要学会换个角度看问题,你才可以与众不同;曾经家长教导我们,不要人云亦云,要追求个性,发散思维,你才可以更加出众。最后的我们,仍然我行我素,在哲学的枯燥中,垂死挣扎,勉强的及格让我们兴奋不已,其实真实的收获,几乎还在零的突破。《织梦...
