商品描述

This exceptional graphic novel recounts the spiritual odyssey of philosopher Bertrand Russell. In his agonized search for absolute truth, Russell crosses paths with legendary thinkers like Gottlob Frege, David Hilbert, and Kurt Gödel, and finds a passionate student in the great Ludwig Wittgenstein. But his most ambitious goal-to establish unshakable logical foundations of mathematics-continues to loom before him. Through love and hate, peace and war, Russell persists in the dogged mission that threatens to claim both his career and his personal happiness, finally driving him to the brink of insanity.


This story is at the same time a historical novel and an accessible explication of some of the biggest ideas of mathematics and modern philosophy. With rich characterizations and expressive, atmospheric artwork, the book spins the pursuit of these ideas into a highly satisfying tale.


Probing and ingeniously layered, the book throws light on Russell's inner struggles while setting them in the context of the timeless questions he spent his life trying to answer. At its heart, Logicomix is a story about the conflict between an ideal rationality and the unchanging, flawed fabric of reality.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這部卓越的圖畫小說敘述了哲學家伯特蘭·羅素(Bertrand Russell)的精神奧德賽。在他痛苦地尋找絕對真理的過程中,羅素與傳奇思想家如戈特洛布·弗雷格(Gottlob Frege)、大衛·希爾伯特(David Hilbert)和庫爾特·哥德爾(Kurt Gödel)交錯,並在偉大的路德維希·維根斯坦(Ludwig Wittgenstein)身上找到了一位充滿熱情的學生。然而,他最雄心勃勃的目標——建立堅不可摧的數學邏輯基礎——依然在他面前高懸。透過愛與恨、和平與戰爭,羅素堅持不懈地追求這一使命,這一使命威脅著他的職業生涯和個人幸福,最終將他推向瘋狂的邊緣。

這個故事同時是一部歷史小說,也是對數學和現代哲學一些重大思想的易懂解釋。書中以豐富的人物刻畫和富有表現力的氛圍藝術,將這些思想的追求編織成一個極具滿足感的故事。

這本書深入探討並巧妙地層疊,揭示了羅素內心的掙扎,同時將其置於他一生所試圖回答的永恆問題的背景中。在其核心,《Logicomix》是一個關於理想理性與不變的、缺陷的現實之間衝突的故事。
