……超过 5 分钟。EWD 越具体就越糟。想了解科学实际上是怎么做出来的——而不是人们浪漫化的想象——我推荐 Arthur Koestler 的《The Sleepwalkers》,讲哥白尼革命的,还有 Hadamard 的《The psychology of mathematical invention》。
…more than 5 minutes. The more concrete the EWDs get the worse they are. For some perspective on how science really gets done, as opposed to people's romantic images of how it is done, I recommend "The Sleepwalkers" by Arthur Koestler, about the Copernican revolution, and "The psychology of mathematical invention" by Hadamard.
……读完它:John Rawls 的《A Theory of Justice》……一本重要的书,有几个非常重要的观点。Amartya Sen 的东西。关于科学哲学,我认为历史叙事就能起到作用,比如 Arthur Koestler 的《The Sleepwalkers》(一旦你读过希腊部分,就会觉得非常精彩)。你可以读 Thomas Kuhn、Feyerabend 的自传《Killing Time》,那很棒,如果你真的很认真,可以读 Peter Galison 的……
…through it: John Rawls's A Theory of Justice...an important book with a few very important ideas. Stuff by Amartya Sen. On philosophy of science, the historical narratives do the job I think, like The Sleepwalkers by Arthur Koestler (a great read once you get through the Greeks). You could read Thomas Kuhn, Feyerabend's autobiography "Killing Time" which is great, and if you're really serious read Peter Galison's…
……(把书带在身边)是把这些想法融入自己思维的好办法。至于书单:任何有兴趣读 Arthur Koestler(他确实非常值得一读)的人,不妨从《The Sleepwalkers》开始。这是一本非常好读的科学发展史——如果你喜欢它,就会有动力去钻研他其他的作品。
…books with you) is a great way of integrating the ideas into your thinking. As to the list: Anybody interested in reading Arthur Koestler (and he is really worth reading) might want to start with The Sleepwalkers. It is a very readable account of the development of science - if you like it you will be motivated to delve into some of his other work.
我强烈推荐 Arthur Koestler 的《The Sleepwalkers》。它详细讲述了哥白尼、第谷,尤其是开普勒的历史,但同时也讲新的知识模型如何获得认可。所以它远远超越了那种简单化的「孤独天才」分析,但仍然……
I highly recommend Arthur Koestler's 'Sleepwalkers'. It's a detailed history of Copernicus, Brahe and in particular Kepler, but is also about how new models of knowledge gain traction. So it goes way beyond simplistic 'lone genius' analyses but still…
In Sleepwalkers (great book), Arthur Koestler argues that many senior church figures were keen and supportive followers of Galileo's physical investigations, but repeatedly warned him not to cross the line between observing…

在《The Sleepwalkers》(好书)里,Arthur Koestler 论证说,许多教会高层人物其实是伽利略物理研究的热情支持者,但一再警告他不要越过观察……之间的界线。
