Rationality 是Simon 學說中的關鍵語 事實上Simon的著作中也可編成類似的一本書
| | Repeatedly
and successfully, the celebrated Harvard philosopher Robert Nozick has
reached out to a broad audience beyond the confines of his discipline,
addressing ethical and social problems that matter to every thoughtful
person. Here Nozick continues his search for the connections between
philosophy and "ordinary" experience. In the lively and accessible style
that his readers have come to expect, he offers a bold theory of
rationality, the one characteristic deemed to fix humanity's
"specialness." What are principles for? asks Nozick. We could act
simply on whim, or maximize our self-interest and recommend that others
do the same. As Nozick explores rationality of decision and rationality
of belief, he shows how principles actually function in our day-to-day
thinking and in our efforts to live peacefully and productively with
each other.
Throughout, the book combines daring speculations
with detailed investigations to portray the nature and status of
rationality and the essential role that imagination plays in this
singular human aptitude.
Reviews:
"Robert
Nozick's brief, vivid, energetic, intensely personal and enviably
clever book attacks head-on the question of what rationality really
is."--John Dunn, The Times Higher Education Supplement
"Robert
Nozick always attacks his problems in a disconcertingly original way. .
. . From Mr. Nozick you always expect fireworks. . . . The questions he
addresses are fundamental in the true philosophical sense: Why exactly
should we want to act and believe rationally? Why should we formulate
principles of action and try to stick to them? The questions are not
moral but explicatory. He is not out to argue that unprincipled or
irrational behavior is immoral; rather, he invites us to consider what
we are trying to do, and what the justification for such behavior is. . .
. Sure to attract a great deal of interest."--Anthony Gottlieb, The New York Times Book Review
"To
Nozick, rationality and belief are each an evolutionary adaptation to a
world that changes in nonregular ways. Our acts resonate with symbolic
meaning and 'stand for' our principles and beliefs. In this boldly
original . . . inquiry which will reward serious students of philosophy,
Nozick uses decision theory to propose new rules of rational
decision-making that take into account the symbolic, practical, and
evolutionary components of our behavior . . . . this challenging
treatise champions reason as a faculty that enables us to transcend our
mere animal status and to strive toward goals by the light of
principles."--Publishers Weekly
"From Mr. Nozick you always
expect fireworks. . . . The questions he addresses are fundamental in
the true philosophical sense: Why exactly should we want to act and
believe rationally?"--The New York Times Book Review |
