塔夫斯大学的一名哲学教授丹尼尔•丹尼特(36)承认:“思考是困难的,某些问题的思考之难,几乎到了只要一想这些问题就会头疼的地步。在过去半个世纪里,他一直在沉思那些最耐人寻味的问题:意义的本质,思想的(37)实质以及自由意志的可行性等。最近,他的力作《思考的工具:直觉泵及其他》新鲜出炉,由77篇既(38)有可读性又短小精悍的文章组成,是他五十多年来思考之浓缩,覃思之精华。
“直觉泵”是丹尼特用来称呼思想实验的术语。所谓思想实验就是一种意在探究概念内核的实验。本书的目的(39)不仅仅在于展示“直觉泵”的工作流程,更重要的是通过(40)运用“直觉泵”,帮助读者去揣摩那些最值得考虑的难题。
丹内特把这种泵称为“级联侏儒”,其(41)灵感来自于人工智能领域。当一名程序员接受了一项有待计算机解决的任务时,他首先会把这项任务分解为一些更小的任务,然后把这些任务交给一些特定的(42)子系统去解决,而这些子系统又是由更小的.子子系统(43)组成的,以此类推。只有这样,这些问题才能得以深思。
当然,丹内特的书并不是这些令人迷惑的问题的(44)终极答案。相反的,是对此类问题的终极思考。如同所有终极思考一样,该书通过让读者对那些深藏于我们内心却又(45)无法言说的信念进行检讨,从而达到自己的目的。它确实不是一本易读懂的书。
