媒体评论：
“这是我读过的很好的一本书。”——理查德·道金斯，著名生物学家，热销书《自私的基因》作者

“丹尼尔·丹尼特是我们这个时代很杰出的哲学家之一，他就是下一个伯特兰•罗素。与传统哲学家不同，丹尼特还精通神经科学、语言学、人工智能、计算机科学和心理学。他正在重新定义和革新哲学家的角色。”——马文·明斯基，“人工智能之父”，图灵奖得主

Thinking is hard - yet barely a waking moment passes when we're not labouring away at it. A few of us may be natural geniuses, able to work through the toughest tangles in an instant; others, blessed with reserves of willpower, stay the course in the dogged pursuit of truth. Then there's the rest of us. Not prodigies and a little bit lazy, but still aspiring to understand the world and our place in it. What can we do?
In Intuition Pumps, Daniel Dennett, one of the world's most original and provocative thinkers, takes us on a profound, illuminating and highly entertaining philosophical journey. He reveals a collection of his favourite thinking tools, or 'intuition pumps', that he and others have developed for addressing life's most fundamental questions. Along with new discussions of familiar moves - Occam's Razor, reductio ad absurdum - Dennett offers cognitive tools built for the most treacherous subject matter: evolution, meaning, consciousness and free will. In his genial style, Dennett guides readers around the pitfalls in arguments, and reveals easier ways to better understand the world around us and our place in it.
An enlightening and practical store of knowledge, Intuition Pumps and Other Tools for Thinking will teach you to think truly independently and creatively.

Review
“One of the world's most original and provocative thinkers” (Daily Telegraph)

“Intelligence, insight and flair… They don't come much bigger than Daniel Dennett”(Julian Baggini Guardian)
使用大量方便的、辅助性的思考工具，去拓展想象力、保持专注力，让我们妥当、优雅地思考真正的难题。利用各种思考工具，让你拨开各种思想的层层迷雾，你会发现，那么多明摆着的观点其实根本就不是那么“明摆着”的。

达尔文的进化论不仅只是一种理论，也可以打造成直觉泵等思考利器，破除种种事后追溯的思维陋习。自然选择作为一种思维方式，也日益融入计算机算法的设计中，在本书Intuition Pumps and Other Tools for Thinking《直觉泵和其他思考工具》中你还将掌握有关计算机能力的7个秘密，把算法和程序当作思考工具。

“直觉泵”是很有用的思考工具，作为一种思想实验，一个好的直觉泵比任何一种论证和分析都更为有力。这本书不仅带你去检验不合格的直觉泵，也让你理解好的直觉泵，更教你如何应用和制作直觉泵。

Scientists often ask me why philosophers devote so much of their effort to teaching and learning the history of their field. Chemists typically get by with only a rudimentary knowledge of the history of chemistry, picked up along the way, and many molecular biologists, it seems, are not even curious about what happened in biology before about I950. My answer is that the history of philosophy is in large measure the history of very smart people making very tempting mistakes, and if you don't know the history, you are doomed to making the same darn mistakes all over again. That's why we teach the history of the field to our students, and scientists who blithely ignore philosophy do so at their own risk. There is no such thing as philosophy-free science, just science that has been conducted without any consideration of its underlying philosophical assumptions. The smartest or luckiest of the scientists sometimes manage to avoid the pitfalls quite adroitly (perhaps they are "natural born philosophers"-or are as smart as they think they are), but they are the rare exceptions. Not that professional philosophers don't make-and even defend-the old mistakes too. If the questions weren't hard, they wouldn't be worth working on.

Sometimes you don't just want to risk making mistakes; you actually want to make them-if only to give you something clear and detailed to fix. Making mistakes is the key to making progress. Of course there are times when it is really important not to make any mistakes-ask any surgeon or airline pilot. But it is less widely appreciated that there are also times when making mistakes is the only way to go. Many of the students who arrive at very competitive universities pride themselves in not making mistakes-after all, that's how they've come so much farther than their classmates, or so they have been led to believe. I often find that I have to encourage them to cultivate the habit of making mistakes, the best learning opportunities of all. They get "writer's block" and waste hours forlornly wandering back and forth on the starting line."Blurt it out!"I urge them. Then they have something on the page to work with.

We philosophers are mistake specialists. (I know, it sounds like a bad joke, but hear me out.) While other disciplines specialize in getting the right answers to their defining questions, we philosophers specialize in all the ways there are of getting things so mixed up, so deeply wrong, that nobody is even sure what the right questions are, let alone the answers. Asking the wrong questions risks setting any inquiry off on the wrong foot. Whenever that happens, this is a job for philosophers! Philosophy-in every field of inquiry-is what you have to do until you figure out what questions you should have been asking in the first place. Some people hate it when that happens. They would rather take their questions off the rack, all nicely tailored and pressed and cleaned and ready to answer.
