The Art of Faking It: Sounding Smart Without Really Knowing Anything

这是一本论述自由人社会的政治组织的书。它的方法论、概念工具以及逻辑分析法，本质上渊源于把这样一种社会的经济组织作为其主题的学科。对于所考虑的各种核心问题，政治学方面的研究者和学者会与我们一样感兴趣，而他们的经济学同行则会与我们一起对此一论题的建构感兴趣。本书将坚定不移地沿着政治经济学的这两大支系之间的神话式的和神秘的边界线展开。本书分为概念框架、社会选择的王国、决策规则分析、民主的经济学与伦理学等组成。值得一阅。

Philosopher, naturalist and rugged individualist, Thoreau has inspired generations of readers to think for themselves and to find meaning and beauty in nature. This representative sampling includes five of his most frequently read and cited essays: "On the Duty of Civil Disobedience" (1849), "Life without Principle" (1863), "Slavery in Massachusetts" (1854), "A Plea for Captain John Brown" (1869) and "Walking" (1862). Reprinted from standard editions.

The Road follows an unnamed father and son journeying together across a grim post-apocalyptic landscape, some years after a great, unexplained cataclysm has destroyed civilization and almost all life on Earth. Realizing that they will not survive another winter in their unspecified original location, the father leads the boy south, through a desolate American landscape along a vacant highway, towards the sea, sustained only by the vague hope of finding warmth and more "good guys" like them, and carrying with them only what is on their backs and what will fit into a damaged supermarket cart.
The setting is very cold, dark and filled with ash and the land is devoid of living vegetation. There is frequent rain or snow, and electrical storms are common. Many of the remaining human survivors are cannibalistic gangs or nomads, scavenging the detritus of city and country alike for human flesh, though that too is almost entirely depleted.
Overwhelmed by this desperate and apparently hopeless situation, the boy's mother, pregnant with him at the time of the cataclysm, commits suicide when the boy is about five or six; the rationality and calmness of her act being her last "great gift" to the man and the boy. The father coughs blood every morning and eventually realizes he is dying, yet still struggles to protect his son from the constant threats of attack, exposure, and starvation. The revolver they carry, meant for protection or suicide if necessary, has only one round for the entire story. The boy has been told to use it on himself if capture is imminent, to spare himself the horror of death at the hands of the cannibals.
In the face of these obstacles, the man and the boy have only each other. They repeatedly assure one another that they are "the good guys," who are "carrying the fire." On their journey, the duo scrounge for food, encounter roving bands of cannibals, and contend with horrors such as a newborn infant being roasted on a spit, and people being kept captive as they are slowly harvested for food. The vast majority of the book is written in the third person, with references to "the father" and "the son" or to "the man" and "the boy."
Although the man and the boy eventually reach the sea, neither the climate nor availability of food has improved. The man succumbs to an illness and dies, leaving the boy alone, though not long before he dies, the father tells the boy that he can continue to speak with him in his imagination after he is gone. The boy holds wake over his father's corpse for three days, with no idea of what he is to do next. On the third day, the grieving boy encounters a man who has been tracking the father and son. This man, who has a woman and two children of his own, a boy and a girl, invites him to join his family after convincing the boy that he is indeed one of the "good guys" like the boy and his dead father. A brief epilogue following meditates on nature and infinity in this altered environment.

核子战争爆发十年之后，地球几乎成为一片废墟，阴暗凄冷。幸存下来的人多数同类相食，少数则孤独地挣扎求生。在这种荒凉绝望的境遇中，一对父子行走在求生之“路”上。为了躲避严寒，他们向南方海岸前进。在路上，父子俩总要克服难以想象的饥饿、寒冷和追杀，被迫目睹世间惨象和人性崩溃。他们相依为命，希望自己能做“好人”。但是严峻的考验在前：生存，还是放弃人性？父子俩的“路”能够穿过这个困境吗？

Liberty Fund is proud to present, in two volumes, 'The Collected Works of Armen A Alchian', bringing together Alchian's most influential essays, articles, editorials, and lectures to provide a comprehensive record of his thinking on a broad range of topics in economics. As various and as specific as some of this collection's topics are, they are unified, as editor Daniel K Benjamin writes, by "both a coherent methodology for doing economics, and a view of the world that celebrates the importance of individual liberty." Benjamin goes on to state that, in Alchian's view, "the purpose of theory is never theory in and of itself; it is instead to help individuals understand the world around them."

Revised and Expanded Edition. In this age of supposed scientific enlightenment, many people still believe in mind reading, past-life regression theory, New Age hokum, and alien abduction. A no-holds-barred assault on popular superstitions and prejudices, with more than 80,000 copies in print, "Why People Believe Weird Things" debunks these nonsensical claims and explores the very human reasons people find otherworldly phenomena, conspiracy theories, and cults so appealing. In an entirely new chapter, "Why "Smart" People Believe in Weird Things," Michael Shermer takes on science luminaries like physicist Frank Tippler and others, who hide their spiritual beliefs behind the trappings of science. Shermer, science historian and true crusader, also reveals the more dangerous side of such illogical thinking, including Holocaust denial, the recovered-memory movement, the satanic ritual abuse scare, and other modern crazes. "Why People Believe Strange Things" is an eye-opening resource for the most gullible among us and those who want to protect them.

From bestselling author Michael Shermer, an investigation of the evolution of morality that is "a paragon of popularized science and philosophy" The Sun (Baltimore) A century and a half after Darwin first proposed an "evolutionary ethics," science has begun to tackle the roots of morality. Just as evolutionary biologists study why we are hungry (to motivate us to eat) or why sex is enjoyable (to motivate us to procreate), they are now searching for the very nature of humanity. In "The Science of Good and Evil," science historian Michael Shermer explores how humans evolved from social primates to moral primates; how and why morality motivates the human animal; and how the foundation of moral principles can be built upon empirical evidence. Along the way he explains the implications of scientific findings for fate and free will, the existence of pure good and pure evil, and the development of early moral sentiments among the first humans. As he closes the divide between science and morality, Shermer draws on stories from the Yanamamo, infamously known as the "fierce people" of the tropical rain forest, to the Stanford studies on jailers' behavior in prisons. "The Science of Good and Evil" is ultimately a profound look at the moral animal, belief, and the scientific pursuit of truth.

The Believing Brain is divided into four parts. Part I, “Journeys of Belief,” includes personal narratives of belief, including that of the author; Part II, “The Biology of Belief,” bores into the brain and explains how the mind works to form beliefs, from thoughts and ideas down to neurons firing across tiny synaptic gaps as they talk to one another chemically; Part III, “Belief in Things Unseen” applies my theory beliefs to the afterlife, God, aliens, and conspiracies; and Part IV, “Belief in Things Seen,” examines the role of beliefs in politics, economics, and ideologies, explains how belief confirmation works to assure that we are always right, and then explores the history of scientific exploration, from the world to the cosmos, and how science works to overcome the power of belief.
The Believing Brain begins with three personal belief stories. The first story is about a man whom you will have never heard of but who had a profound and life-changing experience in the wee hours of the morning many decades ago that still haunts him to this day and drives him to search for ultimate meaning in the cosmos. The second story is about a man whom you will most definitely have heard of as he is one of the greatest scientists of our age, and he too had a life-changing early-morning experience that confirmed his decision to make a religious leap of faith. The third story is Dr. Shermer’s own passage from believer to skeptic, and what he learned along the way that drove him into a professional career of the scientific study of belief systems.
From narrative stories Dr. Shermer turns to an architecture of belief systems, how they are formed, nourished, reinforced, changed, and extinguished, first conceptually through the two theoretical constructs he developed called patternicity and agenticity, and then delve deeper into how these cognitive processes evolved and what purpose they served in the lives of our ancestors as well as in our lives today. Dr. Shermer then bores deeper into the brain, right down to the neurophysiology of belief system construction at the single neuron level, and then reconstructs from the bottom up how brains form beliefs. Then we shall examine how belief systems operate with regard to belief in religion, the afterlife, God, extraterrestrials, conspiracies, politics, economics, and ideologies of all stripes, and then consider how a host of cognitive processes convince us that our beliefs are truths. In the final chapters we will consider how we know any of our beliefs are believable, which patterns are true and which false, which agents are real and which are chimera, and how science works as the ultimate pattern detection device.
In the end, all of us are trying to make sense of the world, and nature has gifted us with a double-edge sword that cuts for and against. On one edge, our brains are the most complex and sophisticated information processing machines in the universe, capable of understanding not only the universe itself but of understanding the process of understanding. On the other edge, by the very same process of forming beliefs about the universe and ourselves, we are also more capable than any other species of self-deception and illusion, of fooling ourselves while we are trying to avoid being fooled by nature.

俄裔美国作家安·兰德（Ayn Rand，1905一1982）的科幻小说《地球战栗》（Atlas Shrugged），这部著作中着重于对虚无主义主题的描写。在当代文学中，虚无主义主题在科特·沃尼格特（Ku rt Vonnegut）的书中也可见。罗伯特·斯通（Robert Stone）也是一位经常以虚无主义为主题的美国当代作家。在他的小说“日落之旗”（A Flag for Sunrise）（1981年）中，主角霍利维尔（Holliwell）挣扎着对抗他自己的虚无主义倾向。另一位书写虚无主义的是美国作家恰克·帕拉涅科（Chuck Palahniuk）。如在他1996年的小说“斗阵俱乐部”中，“毁灭计划”的终极目的就是摧毁现代文明以重建人性。然而帕拉涅科声称他并没有故意写虚无主义。
由于这部小说，兰德不再仅仅被称为“最畅销小说家”，而且还被称为“最具影响力的思想家”。在其“后记”中，兰德写道：我的哲学，就其精髓而言，是关于英雄般地生活着的人的概念，他以自身感受的幸福作为他人生的唯一道德目标，他以创造性的生产劳动作为他唯一高尚的活动，他以理性作为他唯一接受的绝对准则。
但是“幸福”，作为一种激情，兰德相信，它来自具有客观价值的成就感。这种成就以及达到它们的手段，我们只能凭借理性，从大千世界中去寻找和辨识。在这一探索过程中，为达到我们命定的目标，我们还需要具备一些美德——独立、诚实、正直、骄傲、一致性与创造性。
安.兰德的“客观主义”哲学从下述“公理”出发，她自己称之为“存在的首要事实”（the primacy of existence），或者，又可称为“形而上学现实主义”——世界独立于人的意识而存在，它是现实的，真实的，是存在的首要事实。这意味着事物就是事物本身（物自体）。当然，也就意味着，人只能感知和想象他所处的这一客观的世界。这一“公理”，兰德认为，是一切属于人的知识的出发点。作为对比，我援引金岳霖先生的知识论——首先有“主体－认知关系－客体”这一思想图案，其次有客观的“所与”（the given）以及所与在官觉内的呈现，再次有基于所与呈现的意像与思想。
一方面，由于采取了雅理士多德以来西方传统哲学的“主－客”两分的立场，还由于承认生存于特定时空的个人的理性能力是有限的，兰德相信，主体对客体的认知是以“局部的”，每当我们的思想图像变得足够大从而难以被记忆的时候，我们就创造一个“概念”——通常以“符号”形式——来代表这一思想图像。故而，概念是知识的“单元”。另一方面，或许受到伯格森的影响，兰德相信，当认知主体试图对每一概念里包含着的无数可能的具有某种相似性的事物时，他自身必须具有“同一性”，他自己的人格不应是分裂的，在他的意识里主体是统一的，否则，这概念就是支离破碎的，从而不成为知识的单元。
所以，人能够把无数可能的事物根据它们之间的某种相似性分类为“概念”，首先因为人有理性——在“主体－认知关系－客体”这一思想图案内主体从所与呈现中发现各种关系的能力，其次因为人有尊严——首先是身体的同一性，继而是思想的独立性，再而是生活的完整性。
在西方思想传统里，兰德的上述立场被称为是“客观主义”的，与此相应，兰德的社会理论是个人主义的，是有着至高无上的尊严的主体对客体的认知并由此获得升华的过程。在中国思想传统里，金岳霖先生称他自己的立场“既非主观主义的也非客观主义的”，他努力要做到的，是“事与理并重”的态度，是“既求真实又求通理”的认识论，是“有能有式”的本体论。
兰德的立场与金岳霖先生的立场，有一点是相通的，那就是对“真”的尊重——我们对外物的真实感要求这外物独立于我们的意识，要求它不随我们意志的改变而改变，同时还要求我们关于外物所建立的通理是公的而非私的。金先生说，上述三项条件缺一则“真”取消。缺乏真，我们会感到人生不是圆融的，而是支离的，是疏远的，是荒唐的。
求真实的人生，兰德由此认为，要求每一个人努力成就一些真实的而非虚幻的事情。人的这种要把生命的真实感表达出来的努力，被称为“生产”，也称为“创造”。

Mathematicians call it the Monty Hall Problem, and it is one of the most interesting mathematical brain teasers of recent times. Imagine that you face three doors, behind one of which is a prize. You choose one but do not open it. The host--call him Monty Hall--opens a different door, always choosing one he knows to be empty. Left with two doors, will you do better by sticking with your first choice, or by switching to the other remaining door? In this light-hearted yet ultimately serious book, Jason Rosenhouse explores the history of this fascinating puzzle. Using a minimum of mathematics (and none at all for much of the book), he shows how the problem has fascinated philosophers, psychologists, and many others, and examines the many variations that have appeared over the years. As Rosenhouse demonstrates, the Monty Hall Problem illuminates fundamental mathematical issues and has abiding philosophical implications. Perhaps most important, he writes, the problem opens a window on our cognitive difficulties in reasoning about uncertainty.

First Edition, Winner of the prestigious William James Award from the American Psychological Association An understanding of the principles of rational decision making can help students improve the quality of their lives. Intended as an introductory textbook, the material in Rational Choice in an Uncertain World is not only of scholarly interest, but practical as well. Created specifically for courses on judgement and decision-making, this book makes research readily accessible to both undergraduate and graduate students. This Second Edition of the award-winning book, Rational Choice in an Uncertain World (1988) by Robyn M. Dawes, is sure to interest and enlighten students at all levels. This new edition features: * New student friendly chapter introductions as well as conclusions and cross-references between chapters. * Award-winning authors are respected professors with over 30 years of experience in the field. * Practical, everyday examples from such areas as finance, medicine, law, and engineering.* Comprehensive and up-to-date information keep this edition abreast of the changing ideas within the discipline * Additional discussion of the descriptive, psychological models of decision making to expand upon the original emphasis on normative, rational, 'Expected Utility Theory' models. Equipped with this knowledge and an understanding of the principles of rational decision making, both undergraduate and graduate students can help improve the quality of their choices and, thus, their life.

Is our case strong enough to go to trial? Will interest rates go up? Can I trust this person? Such questions - and the judgments required to answer them - are woven into the fabric of everyday experience. This 2002 book examines how people make such judgments. The study of human judgment was transformed in the 1970s, when Kahneman and Tversky introduced their 'heuristics and biases' approach and challenged the dominance of strictly rational models. Their work highlighted the reflexive mental operations used to make complex problems manageable and illuminated how the same processes can lead to both accurate and dangerously flawed judgments. The heuristics and biases framework generated a torrent of influential research in psychology - research that reverberated widely and affected scholarship in economics, law, medicine, management, and political science. This book compiles the most influential research in the heuristics and biases tradition since the initial collection of 1982 (by Kahneman, Slovic, and Tversky).

Beginning with its first edition and through subsequent editions, Thinking and Deciding has established itself as the required text and important reference work for students and scholars of human cognition and rationality. In this, the fourth edition, Jonathan Baron retains the comprehensive attention to the key questions addressed in the previous editions - How should we think? What, if anything, keeps us from thinking that way? How can we improve our thinking and decision making? - and his expanded treatment of topics such as risk, utilitarianism, Baye's theorem, and moral thinking. With the student in mind, the fourth edition emphasises the development of an understanding of the fundamental concepts in judgement and decision making. This book is essential reading for students and scholars in judgement and decision making and related fields, including psychology, economics, law, medicine, and business.

繼《白噪音》之後，美國偉大作家唐．德里羅
諷喻現今人類瘋狂偶像崇拜之經典力作！
當我們瘋狂崇拜之時，可曾真正化解心底的徬徨與不安？
一位在文壇享有盛名多年，地位無可取代的小說大師，突然聲消跡匿，遁世隱居。他一躲便是數十年，沒有人知道他的行蹤，但眾人並沒有因此而忘記他，反而集體陷入追逐的狂熱情緒中——作家越是隱世不出，群眾便越瘋狂探尋他的足跡，甚至把他視為英雄，奉若神明。
這位作家本來可以不露面的，但有天他收到消息，得知一名瑞士詩人遭挾持至貝魯特，而對方的企圖竟是希望這位大名鼎鼎的小說家能前去「交換」，好讓他們的行動得到最大的曝光量！對於這荒謬可笑的要求，大師竟然出人意料，決定前往貝魯特換回人質。面對充滿危險的未知，他的目的是什麼？難道是為自己或眾人再造一次更偉大的傳奇？
萬人宗教集體結婚、球場上暴動的球迷、XXX廣場示威的民眾……現代世界是個集體陷入狂熱的時代，也是個集體陷入危險的時代。正如以《白噪音》寫下了人類的生存恐懼，作品始終緊貼著現代人生活脈動的唐．德里羅，此次以《毛二世》點出了人類瘋狂偶像崇拜、集體狂熱的危機。他以故事主角，一位越隱匿便越引起熱烈追隨的作家角色為隱喻，寫出追隨者的盲目，以及被追隨者的焦慮與不安。在唐．德里羅獨特的幽默對白與驚人的情節推動下，一幅幅屬於現今人類的荒誕景象活現眼前，讓人不禁驚覺：當我們隨著心中那至高無上的夢想和信仰而轉動時，會不會突然有一天，夢和信仰會突然變成毫不留情把我們毀滅的巨獸？

历史是什么？到底应该如何看待历史？人们经历的历史、历史学家笔下的历史和神话化的历史三者之间存在什么样的互动关系？本书以义和团运动为例，对上述问题进行了如此探讨和解释：第一部分是历史学家笔下的义和团运动的史实，以叙事为主；第二部分考察直接参与义和团运动的中外各类人物当时的想法、感受和行为，指出他们对正在发生之事的看法与后来重塑历史的历史学家的看法大为不同；第三部分评述在20世纪初中国产生的关于义和团的种种神话。作者认为，就上述三条认识历史的不同途径而言，后两条途径对普通读者具有更大的说服力和影响力。作为时间的义和团，代表的是对过去的一种特殊的解读；作为神话的义和团，代表的是以过去为载体对现在进行的一种特殊的解读，对现在仍发生深刻的影响。
