This is a good introduction to Philosophy (and a beautifully produced book, with apt cartoons), but should not be read as a systematic introduction! In 35 bite-size pieces of a few pages each, the practical aspects of the philosophical approach can be seen in action. The limitations of chapter size can leave one feeling a little short-changed on detail - and sometimes the explanations are not as clear as they might be. Nevertheless, as an introductory book, it certainly whets the appetite for more, and is full of wonderful historical anecdotes about philosophers. There is a useful glossary, and a short index.

How do you know that you exist? What does it mean to have a future? Are you the same thing as your brain? What does it mean to be free? How can you know what knowledge is? A woman was advising her anguished friend, 'Be philosophical - then you won't need to think about it.' Well, being philosophical is sometimes taken to mean that you should adopt a resigned attitude to the world - a quiet-ism - but the study that is western philosophy, starting with the ancient Greeks and continuing today in universities, bars and cafes - even bedrooms - is far from quiet. Philosophers think - but not just that, for they think about thinking and they think about how we think about the world, about how we conceive of ourselves, about how we possess a sense of right and wrong, about how we find meaning in life (if we do). How to Think Like a Bat might not help you to think like a bat, but it will certainly help you to think like a philosopher. Smart, witty and engaging, this is a superb introduction to the subject by one of Britain's most engaging philosophical writers. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
