書籍簡介

加里·考克斯為我們介紹了哲學*常被誤解、錯誤引用、具有挑釁性和意義的42句名言，併為我們提供了詼諧而令人信服的評論。這本有趣而富有啟發性的名言集不僅羅列了誰在何時説了什麼，還探究了每位哲學家是誰，以及當他們説這些話時，他們真正的意思是什麼。

考克斯把每句語錄本身都視為一種哲學論題，他研究了從道格拉斯·亞當斯到A.J.艾耶爾、從托馬斯·阿奎那到卡爾·馬克思等人的著作。這是一次穿越歷史、文化和寫作的哲學之旅，它讓我們更深刻地理解我們為什麼會這樣思考。

Gary Cox guides us through 42 of the most misunderstood, misquoted, provocative and significant quotes in the history of philosophy providing a witty and compelling commentary along the way. This entertaining and illuminating collection of quotes doesn’t merely list who said what and when, it explores who each philosopher is and what he or she really meant when they said what they said.

Viewing each quote as a philosophical thesis in itself, Cox probes the writings of everyone from Douglas Adams to A.J. Ayer and Thomas Aquinas to Karl Marx. This is a philosophical journey through history, culture and writing to bring us to a deeper understanding of why we think the way we do.

As Douglas Adams points out, if there is no final answer to the question, 'What is the meaning of life?', '42' is as good or bad an answer as any other. Here Cox shows that 42 quotes might be even better!
