> Religion (like philosophy and superstition) One of these things is not like the others.

…have some really good booklets if you want quick ways to jump into a topic. A few other books: B Russell The Problems of Philosophy.

I guess it depends on workplace culture? I have worked and/or consulted at places where I would not have been (in general) afraid to be bold. Books like "Think" by Simon Blackburn don't bother me to comment on. They are pretty light treatments of the underlying topics, but (as philosophy), they are framed as rational discourses. (Whether they are or not is a…

我觉得这得看工作文化吧？我工作过以及/或者做过咨询的地方，基本上大家都不怕言辞大胆。像西蒙·布莱克本的《思考》这类书，我评论起来完全没压力。它们对底层主题的探讨其实挺浅显的，但（作为哲学）它们是被包装成理性探讨的。（至于到底是不是，那就是另……
