为什么值得读
- 前瞻预警社会滑向迷信与蒙昧的危险
- 系统建立无须借助超自然力量的理性世界观
- 深刻改变思维方式,传授科学怀疑方法
这是一则对我们如今身处未来的预见性警示——在当下,虚假新闻与网络阴谋论正迎合着心怀不满的美国大众。“一部辉煌的巨著……对科学的有力捍卫……从第一页到最后一页,这本书都是倡导清晰思维的宣言。”——《Los Angeles Times》。如果我们无法分清伪科学的虚妄神话与科学的可检验假说之间的区别,又如何在日益由技术主导的生活中做出明智的决策?普利策奖得主、杰出天文学家 Carl Sagan 认为,科学思……

……根本不可能,甚至提出这种建议对受过教育的人来说都是奇耻大辱——哪怕只是比那些被鼓动着去提问的推特网民多受一点教育的人。够了。卡尔·萨根在1996年出版的预言之作《魔鬼出没的世界:科学,照亮黑暗的蜡烛》(The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark)中,就预言了一个沦陷于“迷信与黑暗”的美国。这一刻已经到来了。——南多·卢德维格(Nandor Ludvig),医学博士、哲学博士。我不得不说,确实有种历史在重演的感觉……
…impossible but even its proposal is an outright embarrassment for people with more education than the Twitter-audience encouraged to send their questions. Enough. Carl Sagan's prophetic 1996 book "The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark" predicted an America sinking in "superstition and darkness". This time has arrived. -- ---Nandor Ludvig, MD, PhD I must say, it does feel like history repeating itself.…
卡尔·萨根的《魔鬼出没的世界:科学,照亮黑暗的蜡烛》(The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark)。它改变了我看待世界的方式,教会了我如何保持怀疑精神,以及人不仅要懂得如何去质疑,更要明白为什么要质疑。而且,它还向我展示了,如果你……
The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark, by Carl Sagan. It changed the way I see the world, how to have a sceptical mind and not only how but why one should question. And also, it shows to me that, if you…
我知道这话题扯得有点远,但在读卡尔·萨根的《魔鬼出没的世界》(The Demon Haunted World)之前,我完全无法理解为什么会有人是无神论者……接着我又火速读了理查德·道金斯的《自私的基因》(The Selfish Gene)。这两本书加在一起,让我彻底想明白了拥有一个摒除超自然力量的世界观到底意味着什么。
I know this is a little out of left field but I couldn't understand why anyone was Atheist until I read The Demon Haunted World by Carl Sagan... quickly followed by The Selfish Gene by Richard Dawkins. Those two books together crystallized in me what it could mean to have a world view absent of supernatural forces.

卡尔·萨根的《魔鬼出没的世界》(The Demon Haunted World)。听起来可能有点俗套,但在我18岁左右的时候,那本书确实改变了我的思维方式,甚至改变了我的人生。
The Demon Haunted World - Carl Sagan. Corny as it sounds,, that book changed my way of thinking and indeed my life when I was around 18yo.
鉴于这位是“理性与常识的守护神”,我推荐卡尔·萨根出自那本神作《魔鬼出没的世界》中的“扯淡探测器”(Baloney Detection Kit):https://www.brainpickings.org/2014/01/03/baloney-detection-k...
From the "patron saint of reason and common sense" I can recommend Carl Sagan's "Baloney Detection Kit" from superb The Demon-Haunted World: https://www.brainpickings.org/2014/01/03/baloney-detection-k...
