我很想看看一份写给非哲学专业人士的最佳哲学书单。我不是哲学家，也完全不沾边，但我一直觉得托马斯·内格尔（Thomas Nagel）的《致命问题》（Mortal Questions）绝对算一部重磅之作。倒不单是因为哪一篇具体的文章，而是整本文集的结合——在我看来，《成为一只蝙蝠是什么感觉？》（What Is it Like to be a Bat?）和《荒诞》（The Absurd）都是经典。基本上那本薄薄的书里的每一篇文章…
I'd be interested to see a list of the best philosophy books for non-philosophers. I'm not a philosopher or close to the field, but I always thought Thomas Nagel's Mortal Questions was a big hitter. Not so much for an individual essay but the combination of essays - What Is it Like to be a Bat? and The Absurd are both classics in my mind. Basically every essay in that short book…

Whoa, time warp to a previous life... Whatever you decide about his beliefs, Nagel is a wonderful writer. Pick up a copy of Mortal Questions if you get a chance.
"What is it like to be a bat?" is a paper by American philosopher Thomas Nagel, first published in The Philosophical Review in October 1974, and later in Nagel's Mortal Questions (1979). In it, Nagel argues that materialist theories of mind omit the essential component of consciousness, namely that there is something that it is (or feels) like to be a particular, conscious thing.…

《成为一只蝙蝠是什么感觉？》是美国哲学家托马斯·内格尔的一篇论文，最初于 1974 年 10 月发表在《哲学评论》（The Philosophical Review）上，后来收录于内格尔的《致命问题》（Mortal Questions，1979年）一书中。内格尔在文中指出，唯物主义的心灵理论忽略了意识的核心要素，即：作为一个特定的、有意识的存在物，必须有“它自身是什么感觉”（或体验起来是什么样）这一特质。…
