THE PHILOSOPHER AT THE END OF THE UNIVERSE: PHILOSOPHY EXPLAINED THROUGH SCIENCE FICTION FILMS
Book ID/图书代码： 11340006B02194
English Summary/英文概要： The Philosopher at the End of the Universe allows anyone to understand basic philosophical concepts from the comfort of their armchair, through the plots and characters of spectacular blockbusting science-fiction movies. Learn about: The Nature of Reality from The Matrix; Good and Evil from Star Wars; Morality from Aliens; Personal Identity from Total Recall; The Mind-Body Dilemma from Terminator; Free Will from Minority Report; Death and the Meaning of Life from Blade Runner; Cultural Relativism from Lord of the Rings; and much more. As someone once said, things must be said and knowledge known, and the cast list assembled to tell us does not disappoint: Tom Cruise, Plato, Harrison Ford, Immanuel Kant, Sigourney Weaver, Friedrich Nietzsche, Keanu Reeves and Rene Descartes. From characters in the biggest films (with lots of explosions and bad language) to Ludwig Wittgenstein (no explosions and too much language in general), hear all the arguments. I think, therefore...I’ll be back!
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 《宇宙盡頭的哲學家》讓任何人都能舒服地坐在扶手椅上，透過精彩的科幻大片的情節和人物，理解基本的哲學概念。了解《駭客任務》中的現實本質；《星際大戰》中的善與惡；《異形》中的道德觀； 《銀翼殺手》中的死亡與生命的意義； 《魔戒》中的文化相對主義等等。正如有人曾經說過的，事情必須說出來，知識必須被知道，而演員名單並沒有讓我們失望：湯姆·克魯斯、柏拉圖、哈里森·福特、伊曼紐爾·康德、西格妮·韋弗、弗里德里希·尼采、基努·李維和勒內·笛卡爾。從最熱門的電影中的人物（有很多爆炸和髒話）到路德維希·維根斯坦（沒有爆炸但總體來說語言太多），聽聽所有的爭論。因此，我想，...I’ll be back!(Zoe)
