Book Of A Lifetime: Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, By Lewis Carroll

On my tenth birthday my mother gave me a copy of 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland'. Charles Lutwidge (the archaic form of Lewis, just as "Carrroll" is a form of "Charles") Dodgson published the book on 26 November 1865; maybe my copy was already cal ... (read full critics)

Puro genio.
"Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?"
"That depends a good deal on where you want to get to", said the Cat.
"I don't much care where.." said Alice.
"Then it doesn'tmatter which way you go", said the Cat.

"Oh, you0re sure to do that," said the Cat, "if you only walk long enough".

A classic. And not just for kids, I read it again when I was 18, and most appreciated it.

記得讀宗教哲學時，有篇reading是Lewis寫的。再看看他的其他作品，原來Alice's Adventures in Wonderland也是他寫的。
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland確實是一本好好的童蒙書籍，在Alice夢的奇遇中穿插了不少值得學習的東西，如概念的指謂、邏輯、數學。
1. 概念的指謂
對於什麼是自我，本書也有提出。A一會兒喝這個，一會兒喝那個，變大又變小，她就有疑問，這個還是我嗎？當她的頸變了很長時，有隻白鴿說她是蛇，她說不是，白鴿問她是什麼？她也很愕然。她有覺得判斷自我或未必靠身體，或許是記憶，於是她試試背背課文，看看記不記得，從 ... (continue)

1. 概念的指謂
對於什麼是自我，本書也有提出。A一會兒喝這個，一會兒喝那個，變大又變小，她就有疑問，這個還是我嗎？當她的頸變了很長時，有隻白鴿說她是蛇，她說不是，白鴿問她是什麼？她也很愕然。她有覺得判斷自我或未必靠身體，或許是記憶，於是她試試背背課文，看看記不記得，從而證明現在的我與以前的我是同一，可是，她有些地方背錯了，有些背不出。對於現在的我與過去的我是否同一？我的概念為何？她嘗試釐清，但仍得不到答案。
賣帽的人與國王的對話對「我的」的意思也作概念的釐清。國王叫賣帽的人「除下你的帽」，賣帽的人說「這帽不是我的」，國王說「則這是偷回來的」(當然，這也犯了不充份的謬誤)，賣帽者說「我既是賣帽的，則沒有一帽子是自己，這些帽只是暫存於我處，待會就賣給別人」。很明顯，大家對何謂「我的」解釋不一，有必要有概念的釐清。
國王與劊子手的對話，也可見大家對「斬頭」的概念有所不同。王后下令要斬那貓的頭，而那貓是只有像頭的東西，上有眼耳口鼻而沒有身子。劊子手覺得不能斬貓的頭，因為所謂斬頭就是要把頭與身子的連接處斬開，那貓跟本沒有身子，故不能由此而知何謂頭，更沒有頭與身子的連接處可供斬開。但國王認為有頭便可斬頭，可見他認為斬頭是指斬在那有眼耳口鼻的東西上，這與劊子手理解的斬頭概念並不相同。
從此故事中，對我們日常所用的概念，其實也要小心釐清。
2. 邏輯
貓以Modus Tollens推論自己是瘋子。
狗不是瘋子，因此，狗生氣就狂吠，高興就搖尾巴。
但貓非生氣就狂吠，高興就搖尾，反之是生氣就搖尾，高興就狂吠。因此，貓並非不是瘋子，即貓是瘋子。
3. 數學
某某(不記得是誰)叫A多喝些茶，A說跟本沒有喝過，又如何多喝？某某就說既然什麼都沒喝，則多喝點已是喝了很多了。這是真的，因為任何多於0的數字相對於0來說，也是無限大的了。
這實是一本好好的童蒙書籍。
