……迈克尔·史密斯（Michael Smith）：《道德问题》（The Moral Problem）。偏专业、硬核、冷门的书目有：迈克尔·比尼（Michael Beaney）编的《弗雷格读本》（The Frege Reader）（用于了解现代逻辑以及分析风格当代哲学的开端）；J. L. 麦基（J. L. Mackie）：《宇宙的水泥：因果关系研究》（The Cement of the Universe: A Study of Causation）；威廉·金登·克利福德（William Kingdon Clifford）：《信念的伦理》（The Ethics of Belief）（他提出了一种古怪却强有力的论证，认为在缺乏充分证据或非理性的情况下相信某事是不道德的——是对道德的冒犯，……

我们总是一味退回到休谟那里，搞得好像科学走向成熟之后就没人对这个话题进行过批判性思考一样。好奇的朋友不妨看看麦基（Mackie）1974年的《宇宙的水泥》（The Cement of the Universe），它对因果关系提供了更近代的分析。http://books.google.com/books/about/The_Cement_of_the_Univer... 举个例子，假设有人扔了一根点燃的火柴后，谷仓随即被烧毁……
We keep falling back on Hume as if no one has thought critically about the subject since science became more mature. For the curious, Mackie's "The Cement of the Universe" from 1974 provides a more recent analysis of causation. http://books.google.com/books/about/The_Cement_of_the_Univer...
