Srpski prevod moze biti dosta bolji, zadrzane su konstrukcije recenica sa engleskog. Prevodilac je doktor filozofije i ogromna je steta sto nema ni jedne jedine njegove fusnote. Mogao je slobodno da nam pojasni neke termine . Kako ja da znam koji Duh Barkli referencira??
Pored tih sitnica, knjiga je super i dosta mi je pomogla oko nesanice. Izgleda da me je do zore drzalo nekvalitetno razmisljanje.

I've been doing research for an upcoming book, and of all the collections of philosophical thought experiments I've read, this is by far the best. It is accessible, uses text from primary sources, and is very well edited. The final entry in the book -- which I won't spoil for you -- was an instant favorite of mine.

My only real problem with the book is its price (almost $40 for a paperback on Amazon). I assume it's because this is being used as a textbook somewhere.

Эта книга, собравшая более ста мысленных экспериментов, что-то вроде задачника по философии. Только стоит иметь в виду, что постановка интересных задач это уже и есть философия. Ценность задачи не сводит к решению (их в книге и нет).

Книга может быть хорошим введением в философию, которое спасает от риска начать с Платона и Аристотеля и никогда не дойти до проблем телепортации и искусственного интеллекта.

Very thought-provoking! Loved reading short extracts of different thought experiments, but I would've wanted to see more of the author's thoughts, because the few sentences he included are very insightful too!

Mala enciklopedija filozofskih misaonih ''eksperimenata''. Korisna i informativna, mada nije namenjena hronološkom čitanju koliko nalaženju odredjenih referenci po potrebi. Posebno prilagodjena razvitku radoznalosti u srednjoškolskom uzrastu, ali vredna i starijim čitaocima. Filozofsko predznanje koristi, ali nije neophodno.
