哲學的追尋,哲學淺說&思考方法五講

半月來就只看了這幾本小書,都是哲學的入門小介


先說勞教授的兩本書
<哲學淺說>真是一本很有水準的哲學入門書
簡單地介紹了哲學的定義,部門,以及學習的目的
我最認同的,就是其中說哲學就是尋求不同"最終真理"(Ultimate truth)的學科的一個集合
(這都就是所謂的實指的定義法)
哲學是智慧,價值,反省之學,即學習哲學的三大目的
特別一提,只想認識哲學家學說的話,這本會令你失望的

<思考方法五講>則是一本深入淺出的思方入門書
從基本思考方法,邏輯三段論到經驗科學方法都有很簡明的介紹
別以為這很簡單,在邏輯教本中,這些都是很長篇而且複雜,這都顯示這書厲害的地方
後面有關辯證法,邏輯家分析的附錄,有興趣才看吧

最後提一提陶教授的<哲學的追尋>吧
這本一半是陶的課堂討論,再加上另一半是對每一題目的思考
幾個論題基本上是對應知識論,道德哲學及形上學
課堂討論方面滿有趣的,而往後的思考就是提出不同哲學家的言論再加以研討
整體上,這本書可以體驗一下大學哲學討論以及陶老的哲學思考
小缺點就是有一些沒注解哲學名詞,以及不可解的句子出現

In this half of month, I only have read several books all are a brief introduction of philosophy.

In the first place, I would like to talk about two books of Prof.勞.
< 哲學淺說> is a standard introductory book of philosophy which shortly introducing the definition, departments and the learning purpose of philosophy.
The point I agree most: it point out that philosophy is a collection of different subjects which purpose to find out different Ultimate truth.
Philosophy is the knowledge about wisdom, value and introspection, which are also the 3 important purpose of studying philosophy.
Specially mentioning: if you are only interested to theory of philosopher, this book will disappoint you

< 思考方法五講>, a introductory book of thinking method which explain profound theories in simple language, have a brief introduction about general thinking method, syllogism of logic, and experimental scientific method.
If you think that is so easy, you are wrong. In the logic textbook, the above knowledge have to explained in a lengthy and complicated context, in the other way, this reveal the excellency of the book.
e.g I suggest that you should only read the later addendum about the dialectic and logicians' analysis only if you are curious to them.
