ZENO AND THE TORTOISE: HOW TO THINK LIKE A PHILOSOPHER

Book ID/图书代码： 00970006B07781

English Summary/英文概要： There is a saying that goes "Don’t learn the tricks of the trade, learn the trade", but philosophy is all tricks. This work explains not just who each philosopher was and what he thought, but exactly how he came to think in the way that he did. Philosophy is presented as a collection of tools - from Ockham’s Razor to Hume’s Fork - each of which can be brought to bear on a variety of predicaments. Written in short chapters, each readable during the journey to work, "Zeno and the Tortoise" provides a course in intellectual self-defence. It aims to arm the reader with the perfect cognitive weapons to tackle any situation - from meeting a stranger in a dark alley to arranging a first date.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 本書是一部兼顧趣味與學習的哲普書籍。作者以25篇輕薄簡明的短文，精要地擷取了哲學大師們卓越的思考藝術，並解說如何運用這些工具破除謬見與偏見，釐清我們人生中習以為常的思考盲點。 在精神的國度中，邏輯陷阱形形色色，歪理詭辯無所不在，唯有具備哲人般的清明思考，才能駛出觀念的亂流，避免心靈觸礁。作者費爾恩為文生動有趣，取譬貼近生活層面，讓讀者以一種更貼近現代人生活所見所思的方式，進入西方兩千年的哲思世界。
