为什么值得读

  • 当代波普尔哲学的极佳阐释与有力延展
  • 对归纳问题与科学进步给出了更优秀的解释
  • 全书充满富有启发性的精辟论证与深刻思想

Hacker News 上怎么说

  • ……(通过实验来证伪)在于它根本不是一个科学观点,而是一个哲学观点。不过,它是有可能通过批判来被“证伪”的。当代最好的波普尔支持者是戴维·多伊奇(David Deutsch)。去看看他的《真实世界的脉络》(The Fabric of Reality)和《无穷的开始》(The Beginning of Infinity)。两本书都装满了极有意思的想法和论证。他说波普尔确实解决了归纳法的问题。这是他最近写的一篇关于逻辑的论文……

    …(by experiment) is that it isn't a scientific idea; it's a philosophical one. It is potentially 'falsifiable' by criticism, however. The best modern Popper proponent is David Deutsch. See his books The Fabric of Reality and The Beginning of Infinity. They're both packed with interesting ideas and arguments. He says that Popper did indeed solve the problem of induction. And here's a recent paper of his on the logic of…

  • ……文化道德图景。这里讨论的实验是在检验一种解释,人们对那些被禁之物(比如裸盖菇素 Psilocybin)极度缺乏了解——正因为它们被禁了。另见:戴维·多伊奇的《真实世界的脉络》(The Fabric of Reality)

    …cultural moral landscape. The experiment in question was testing an explanation, there is a HUGE lack of understanding of things that are banned, like Psilocybin--because they are banned. See also: The Fabric of Reality by David Deutsch

  • 那本书搞错了(它甚至走到了否定科学进步可能性的地步),不如去读读《真实世界的脉络》(The Fabric of Reality),里面对库恩做了评述,并提出了一个更好的理论。http://www.amazon.com/Fabric-Reality-Parallel-Universes-Impl... Edit:顺便说一句,你书名记错了。

    That book is mistaken (it goes so far as to deny the possibility of scientific progress), see instead The Fabric of Reality which comments on Kuhn and provides a better theory. http://www.amazon.com/Fabric-Reality-Parallel-Universes-Impl... Edit: btw you got the title wrong.

  • 我想加上波普尔的《猜想与反驳》、戴维·多伊奇的《真实世界的脉络》。另外费曼也有几本篇幅较短、更通俗但依然硬核的物理书,有些人可能会更喜欢:《QED》和《物理定律的特性》。而且他的《费曼计算学讲义》也很不错。

    I'd add Conjectures and Refutations (Karl Popper) The Fabric of Reality (David Deutsch) Also Feynman has some shorter/easier but serious physics books that some might prefer: QED and The Character of Physical Law. And his computation lectures book is good.

  • ……而是因为我们有关于恒星如何运作的解释性理论。详细展开这个过程在一条 HN 评论里篇幅太长了。如果你真想搞懂,去读戴维·多伊奇的《真实世界的脉络》(The Fabric of Reality),尤其是第7章。(或者直接去找源头,去读卡尔·波普尔。)

    …but because we have an explanatory theory of how stars work. Going into detail on how that process works is a little too long for an HN comment. If you really want to know, read David Deutsch's "The Fabric of Reality", particularly chapter 7. (Or go straight to the source and read Karl Popper.)

  • 我很喜欢《真实世界的脉络》(The Fabric of Reality),但我担心(诚然这是从他的 Twitter 上看出来的,而 Twitter 往往不太能代表他的好思想)多伊奇有走上道金斯老路的危险。

    I loved “The Fabric of Reality”, but I fear (granted, from his Twitter, which can be less representative of his Good Ideas) Deutsch is at risk of going Dawkins.
