excerpt from Wikipedia(entry: The Third Culture):
The Third Culture is a book by John Brockman which discusses the work of several well-known scientists who are directly communicating their new, sometimes provocative, ideas to the general public. John Brockman has continued the themes of 'The Third Culture' in the website of the Edge Foundation, where leading scientists and thinkers contribute their thoughts in plain English.
The title of the book refers to Charles Percy Snow's 1959 work The Two Cultures and the Scientific Revolution, which described the conflict between the cultures of the humanities and science.
Twenty-three people were included in the book:
physicist Paul Davies
biologist Richard Dawkins
philosopher Daniel Dennett
paleontologist Niles Eldredge
chaos theorist J. Doyne Farmer
theoretical physicist Murray Gell-Mann
biologist Brian Goodwin
geologist/biologist Stephen Jay Gould
physicist Alan Guth
inventor W. Daniel Hillis
theoretical psychologist Nicholas Humphrey
geneticist Steve Jones
biologist Stuart Kauffman
complex systems specialist Christopher Langton
biologist Lynn Margulis
mathematician and computer scientist Marvin Minsky
mathematical physicist Roger Penrose
cognitive scientist Steven Pinker
theoretical astrophysicist Martin Rees
cognitive scientist Roger Schank
theoretical physicist Lee Smolin
biologist Francisco Varela
evolutionary biologist George C. Williams

本书初版于十年前,而这20位学界以及科普界大牛的活跃期大概在40-20年前。思想的潮水已经滚滚向前去了,编者约翰·布罗克曼也意识到了这一点。也许用特定历史时期“数位杰出学者及其思想的群像”来概括书中内容更为合适。一个人概述自己的工作,剩下一堆人吐槽,热爱八卦的jms开心死了!1.前言:战场在哪?前言...

第三种文化:将科学用白话说出来
3有用 0无用 桃夭宜家 2012-06-06
第三种文化,提倡打破人文学科与科学的刚性分野,融汇贯通之。全书基本都选择了有才华的科研者,着自己之笔墨,讲一家之学术。这也不是新近的发现,原文中也承认早在60年代就有此萌芽。而在中国,钱学森先生的夫人蒋英,便是将艺术与音乐引进科研的传说中的女人。打破分野,不是新论点,似乎也一直都活在大家的常识之中。...

由很多不同的作者写就的东西很容易,因为阿德勒已经编好了一 本索引书,叫《合成话题》我能找到托马斯·阿奎因、蒙田和亚里士多德关于这个问题的看法,他们的名字都被阿德勒列在“意识”条目之下。这些人关于意识是什么只有一个模糊的、不确切的想法,还沾染着宗教的气息,他们的著作根本不会在现代学术界通行。然而,我们...
