/ LANDSBURG, STEVEN E.
: 2009
TABLE OF CONTENTS / INHALTSVERZEICHNIS
THE BEGINNING OF THE JOURNEY
WHAT THIS BOOK IS ABOUT : USING IDEAS FROM MATHEMATICS, ECONOMICS, AND
PHYSICS TO TACKLE THE BIG QUESTIONS IN PHILOSOPHY : WHAT IS REAL? WHAT
CAN WE KNOW? WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RIGHT AND WRONG? AND HOW
SHOULD WE LIVE?
REALITY AND UNREALITY
ON WHAT THERE IS
WHY IS THERE SOMETHING INSTEAD OF NOTHING? THE BEST ANSWER I HAVE :
MATHEMATICS EXISTS BECAUSE IT MUST AND EVERYTHING ELSE EXISTS BECAUSE IT
IS MADE OF MATHEMATICS, WITH AN EXCURSION INTO ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
UNFINISHED BUSINESS
UNFINISHED BUSINESS FROM CHAPTER TWO : THE NATURE AND PURPOSE OF
ECONOMIC MODELS
HOW RICHARD DAWKINS GOT IT WRONG
WHY DAWKINS S ARGUMENT AGAINST INTELLIGENT DESIGN CAN T BE RIGHT AND A
MATHEMATICAL ANALYSIS OF THE ARGUMENTS FOR THE EXISTENCE OF GOD
BELIEF
DAYDREAM BELIEVERS
MOST BELIEFS ARE ILL-CONSIDERED BECAUSE MOST FALSE BELIEFS ARE COSTLESS
TO HOLD
THE NEXT SEVERAL CHAPTERS WILL EXPLORE THE CONSEQUENCES OF THIS
OBSERVATION BEFORE WE RETURN TO THE QUESTION OF WHERE OUR BELIEFS AND
KNOWLEDGE COME FROM
UNFINISHED BUSINESS
UNFINISHED BUSINESS FROM THE PRECEDING CHAPTER : HOW COLOR VISION WORKS,
SOUND, AND WATER WAVES, THE SHEER CRAZINESS OF ECONOMIC PROTECTIONISM
DO BELIEVERS BELIEVE?
OUR ILL-CONSIDERED BELIEFS ABOUT RELIGION : WHY I BELIEVE THAT ALMOST
NOBODY IS DEEPLY RELIGIOUS
ON WHAT THERE OBVIOUSLY IS
OUR ILL-CONSIDERED BELIEFS ABOUT FREE WILL, ESP, AND LIFE AFTER DEATH
DIOGENES S NIGHTMARE
HOW IS LEGITIMATE DISAGREEMENT POSSIBLE IF YOU RE ARGUING WITH SOMEONE
WHO IS AS INTELLIGENT AND INFORMED AS YOU ARE, SHOULDN T YOU PUT JUST AS
MUCH WEIGHT ON YOUR OPPONENT S ARGUMENTS AS YOUR OWN?
THE FACT THAT WE PERSIST IN DISAGREEING IS STRONG EVIDENCE THAT WE DON T
REALLY CARE WHAT S TRUE
KNOWLEDGE
KNOWING YOUR MATH
WHERE MATHEMATICAL KNOWLEDGE COMES FROM AND LOGIC AND WHY EVIDENCE AND
LOGIC ARE NOT ENOUGH
UNFINISHED BUSINESS
UNFINISHED BUSINESS FROM THE PRECEDING CHAPTER : THE TALE OF HERCULES
AND THE HYDRA, WITH AN EXCURSION INTO THE LORE OF VERY LARGE NUMBERS
INCOMPLETE THINKING
GODEL S INCOMPLETENESS THEOREM AND WHAT IT DOESN T SAY ABOUT THE LIMITS
OF HUMAN KNOWLEDGE
THE RULES OF LOGIC AND THE TALE OF A POTBELLIED PIG
THE POWER OF LOGICAL THOUGHT, WITH EXCURSIONS INTO THE MOST
COUNTERINTUITIVE THEOREM IN ALL OF MATHEMATICS AND THE TALE OF A
POTBELLIED PIG
THE RULES OF EVIDENCE
WHAT WE CAN AND CAN T LEARN FROM EVIDENCE, WITH EXCURSIONS INTO THE
VALUE OF PRESCHOOL AND HOW INTERNET PORN PREVENTS RAPE
THE LIMITS TO KNOWLEDGE
WHAT PHYSICS DOES AND DOESN T TELL US ABOUT WHAT WE CAN AND CANNOT KNOW
UNDERSTANDING HEISENBERG S UNCERTAINTY PRINCIPLE
UNFINISHED BUSINESS
THE ODDNESS OF THE QUANTUM WORLD AND WHY IT MATTERS TO GAME THEORISTS
RIGHT AND WRONG
TELLING RIGHT FROM WRONG
SOME HARD QUESTIONS ABOUT RIGHT AND WRONG AND ABOUT LIFE AND DEATH
THE ECONOMIST S GOLDEN RULE
A RULE OF THUMB FOR GOOD BEHAVIOR
HOW TO BE SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE
PUTTING THE RULE OF THUMB INTO PRACTICE
ON NOT BEING A JERK
GOOFUS AND GALLANT ON IMMIGRATION POLICY
THE ECONOMIST ON THE PLAYGROUND
OUR ILL-CONSIDERED BELIEFS ABOUT FAIRNESS IN THE MARKET PLACE AND IN THE
VOTING BOOTH, CONTRASTED WITH OUR CAREFULLY CONSIDERED BELIEFS ABOUT
FAIRNESS ON THE PLAYGROUND
UNFINISHED BUSINESS
HOW ANCIENT TALMUDIC SCHOLARS ANTICIPATED MODERN ECONOMIC THEORY
THE LIFE OF THE MIND
HOW TO THINK
SOME BASIC RULES FOR CLEAR THINKING, MOSTLY ABOUT ECONOMICS, BUT ALSO
ABOUT ARITHMETIC, NEUROBIOLOGY, SIN, AND ESCHEWING BLATHER
WHAT TO STUDY
ADVICE TO COLLEGE STUDENTS : STAY AWAY FROM THE ENGLISH DEPARTMENT AND
APPROACH THE PHILOSOPHY DEPARTMENT WITH CAUTION, WITH AN EXCURSION INTO
THE REMARKABLE LIFE OF FRANK RAMSEY.
DIESES SCHRIFTSTUECK WURDE MASCHINELL ERZEUGT.
