PHILOSOPHY: THE LATEST ANSWERS TO THE OLDEST QUESTIONS
Book ID/图书代码： 00970005B11340
English Summary/英文概要： Mixing travelogue and philosophy, this is a highly original introduction to the orld’s most eminent contemporary philosophers and their answers to the hree great questions: Who am I? What do I now? What should I do?
The work of the ancients and the great philosophers of the past is well known. From Aristotle and Plato to Kant and Wittgenstein, their answers to life’s biggest questions have been discussed endlessly. Philosophy: The Latest Answers to the Oldest Questions is the first book to explain, for the general reader, what today’s philosophers believe about what it is to be human.
In the search for higher meaning, Nicholas Fearn has consulted some of the world’s most distinguished thinkers, including John Searle, Martha Nussbaum, Bernard Williams, Daniel Dennett and Peter Singer (among many others). Variously, they believe that free will, identity and consciousness are not what they seem; that the difference between virtue and wickedness can be a matter of sheer luck; and that, one day, we will all be vegetarians. Philosophy is a brilliant and entertaining guide to the state of the philosophical art.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 融合了旅行见闻及哲学，对最古老的或久负盛名的当代哲学家进行高度真实的简介，并引入他们的对如：我是谁？我在做什么？及我该怎么做？等经典问题的回答。
古代人的著作及过去的伟大哲学家们都为人所熟知。从亚里士多德、柏拉图到康德和维特根斯坦，对于人生首要问题的回答从未消止过。《哲学：对最古老问题的最新回答》，是首部向大众解说当今哲学家们如何看待人类本质的书。
为了给出高水平的解析，尼古拉斯˙费恩咨询过世界著名的思想家，如约翰˙赛尔，玛莎˙努斯鲍姆，伯纳德˙威廉姆斯，丹尼尔˙丹尼特和彼得˙辛格（思想家之中的）。 不同的是，他们相信自由意志，而美德和邪恶之间的差异可以只是一个纯粹的运气造成的；某一天后，我们最终将成为素食者。哲学是通往哲学艺术状态，给人以闪光点及娱乐的指南。(兼职翻译-PZ)
