在 Good and Real 中，Gary Drescher 探讨了一系列关于意识、选择、伦理、量子力学等主题的发人深省的悖论，试图将宇宙的纯机械观与我们对自己存在的主观感受的关键维度调和起来。许多科学家猜测，宇宙最终可以用一种简单的（甚至可能是确定性的）形式体系来描述；所有真实存在的事物都按照这种形式体系机械地展开。然而，若是如此，我们又怎么可能拥有意识，或者做出真正的选择？又怎么可能存在伦理维……

我推荐 Gary Drescher 的《Good and Real》，或者 Overcoming Bias 博客里的相关部分（只是那些文章目前还没完全整理到一处）。
I recommend either Gary Drescher's "Good and Real", or the relevant parts of Overcoming Bias (which aren't exactly collected into one place yet).
……最好的）。算不上入门级读物，但充满巧思，而且极其清晰明了（差不多就是数学/物理/计算机人特别看重的那种高度清晰的思维方式）：Gary Drescher 的《Good and Real》。副标题是“从物理学到伦理学揭秘种种悖论”。纯图一乐的话：蒯因的《Quiddities: an intermittently philosophical dictionary》。其实不算正经词典，而是一本短文集……
…the best). Not all that entry-level but full of clever things and exceptionally clear (in approximately the way that maths/physics/computing people value clear thinking extra-highly): Gary Drescher's "Good and Real". Subtitle is "demystifying paradoxes from physics to ethics". Just for fun: Quine's "Quiddities: an intermittently philosophical dictionary". Not really a dictionary, but a collection of short essays…
……“熵向未来方向增加，我们的记忆朝向过去，多巧啊！”不如说是，“如果这不是一个熵增的方向，我们根本不可能拥有关于它的记忆。”这个观点我最早是在 Drescher 的《Good and Real》里看到的。
…"entropy increases futureward, we remember pastward, what a coincidence!" Rather, "if this were not an increasing entropy direction, we could not have memories of it." First saw the point in Drescher's Good and Real.
……那本；它是一本数学书。）哲学方面：Derek Parfit 的《Reasons and Persons》（对个人同一性之类的棘手问题包含了一些极其清晰的思考）。Gary Drescher 的《Good and Real》（Drescher 本质上是个搞计算机科学和 AI 的人，而不是哲学家。他从这个视角探讨了一堆棘手的哲学问题，我个人非常喜欢。我很笃定地……
…that; it is a mathematics book.) Philosophy: Derek Parfit's "Reasons and Persons". (Contains some exceptionally clear thinking on thorny questions about personal identity and the like.) Gary Drescher's "Good and Real". (Drescher is primarily a computer-science-and-AI guy rather than a philosopher. He addresses a bunch of hairy philosophical questions from that perspective and I personally like it a lot. I confidently…
……最接近我在 fallibleideas.com 上看到的内容：http://wiki.lesswrong.com/wiki/Metaethics_sequence 如果你在电脑前容易分心，又想要这种内容的实体书，我推荐 Gary Drescher 的《Good and Real: Demystifying Paradoxes from Physics to Ethics》。
…closest thing to what I read on fallibleideas.com: http://wiki.lesswrong.com/wiki/Metaethics_sequence If you're easily distracted on a computer and you want this sort of stuff in book form, I recommend Good and Real: Demystifying Paradoxes from Physics to Ethics by Gary Drescher.
……大体上是公允的。在思想深度上远远超过近期任何一本“新无神论”书籍。心灵哲学、认识论、伦理学、决策论、物理哲学等等很多领域：Gary Drescher 的《Good and Real》。丹尼尔·丹尼特评价说：“对所有重大问题发动的一场惊人原创的突袭！”，他说得很对。几乎所有话题我都推荐：“牛津哲学读本”（Oxford Readings in Philosophy）系列……
…mostly fair. Much much more seriously intellectually than any of the recent "New Atheist" books. Philosophy of mind, epistemology, ethics, decision theory, philosophy of physics, many other things: "Good and Real", by Gary Drescher. "A breathtakingly original assault on all the Big Issues!", says Daniel Dennett, and he's right. Recommended on just about any topic: the "Oxford Readings in Philosophy" series of…
