Pitching Philosophy of Science and Technology (II)

Pitching Philosophy of Science and Technology (II)
Last time, my sales pitch was mainly that any branch discipline of philosophy can come to do philosophy of science and technology. This time, why not go one step further, because what philosophy of science and technology covers is not just the sum of the other seven branches~ Saying that the territory of philosophy of science and technology is bigger than the combined territory of the other seven second-level disciplines is a bit too much, but it is not entirely empty boasting either. That is because the division into the eight second-level disciplines of philosophy is itself unreasonable. Philosophy is not a science—not a “discipline of divisions.” The differentiation and…

Peddling the Philosophy of Science

Peddling the Philosophy of Science
I am scheming how to sell philosophy of technology to that junior female student. In previous years my sales tactic was just to lend them a few books and let them browse freely. I hoped that if they were interested in those books, they would borrow more books to read, or ask me about information on related books; the best possible outcome would be that they would come find me to discuss them. So far, though, the best case has been only that a junior said to me that that book was very interesting—nothing more. More often, after half a year or a year, they would come and say to…

[Eng] Brendan Wilson: “A Brief Introduction to Philosophy”

Philosophy & Thought2007.07.28
[Eng] Brendan Wilson: “A Brief Introduction to Philosophy”
[English] Brendan Wilson: *A Brief Introduction to Philosophy*, translated by Weng Shaojun, Shanghai People's Publishing House, June 2007, 26 yuan Recently, a number of introductory books on philosophy and the history of philosophy have appeared on the market again. I have always been very interested in this kind of book. At the same time, perhaps I also hope to help later readers “verify” things a bit and improve my recommended reading list. Up to now, the introductory philosophy books I still place first are the three published by Guangxi Normal University Press—*The Tree of Philosophy*, *Big Questions*, and *An Introduction to Philosophy*—and this book has not surpassed those three. This…

[U.S.] Robert M. Pirsig: “The World of Fathers and Sons” (Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance) — ☆
[U.S.]Robert·M·Pirsig: “The World of Father and Son” (“Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance”), translated by Huang Xin, China Friendship Publishing Company, November 1998, 22.8 yuan——☆ I remember that there was a page in A History of Twentieth-Century Thought introducing this strange book. Because the introduction was so brief, apart from its strange title, I still hadn’t realized what was special about it. It was only after seeing Teacher Liu and Teacher Jiang recommend this The World of Father and Son that I learned this strange book had already been translated into Chinese! The translator was probably a literary translator and likely had little philosophical training; the translation problems are…

[US] T. Dantzig: “Numbers: The Language of Science”

[US] T. Dantzig: “Numbers: The Language of Science”
[美]T·Danzig: “Numbers: The Language of Science,” translated by Su Zhongxiang, Shanghai Education Press, December 2000, 17.1 yuan This book is a classic, though unfortunately it was written a little early (1938). Of course, read today it does not feel outdated; it’s just that in some places it seems to leave one wanting a bit more. Among the various popular mathematics books I have read in translation, this one is neither especially good nor especially bad—though it is also possible that, having already read so many related books, I’ve long since grown numb to much of the content… Page10, p12 Numerals are usually remarkably stable; even as everything else undergoes fundamental…

On a Discussion on Teachers’ Blogs: the Criterion of Truth, Pluralism, and Other Matters
On the Discussion on the Teachers’ Blogs: Truth Standards, Pluralism, and Others Gu Ya 发表于 2007-07-07 14:02:46 Preface 2007-06-08 16:59:55 Since I ultimately stopped responding, let me add this here: pluralism is related to the metaphor of dumplings and noodles. When I say that anti-scientism is not anti-science, I do not merely mean that I support some other kind of science; rather, I mean that even with the science that exists now, I do not oppose it. On the contrary, mathematization is not something loathsome: mathematics is very beautiful, marvelous, and a mathematical world is awe-inspiring as well. What we oppose is only the elevation of one particular worldview—no matter…

In the discussion on the teachers’ blogs: On “the freedom to engage in pseudoscience”
http://blog.sina.com.cn/u/485ea8790100063v On “the freedom to do pseudoscience” 2006-12-07 07:42:42 Sima Nan said on TOM: “The real intention behind these people’s demand to delete those three characters from the Science Popularization Law is actually that they want to strive for the freedom to falsify things, the freedom to do pseudoscience.” (December 6, 2006, TOM Technology) Sima Nan’s wording is “the freedom to do pseudoscience”; we can change it a bit and make it “the freedom to do pseudoscience” for discussion, because we know that any freedom is also subject to constraints, and there is no freedom of freedom. What Sima Nan said touches on a very crucial question: do the masses…
