內容簡介

One book. Two readers. A world of mystery， menace， and desire.

A young woman picks up a book left behind by a stranger. Inside it are his margin notes， which reveal a reader entranced by the story and by its mysterious author. She responds with notes of her own， leaving the book for the stranger， and so begins an unlikely conversation that plunges them both into the unknown.

The book： Ship of Theseus， the final novel by a prolific but enigmatic writer named V.M. Straka， in which a man with no past is shanghaied onto a strange ship with a monstrous crew and launched onto a disorienting and perilous journey.

The writer： Straka， the incendiary and secretive subject of one of the world's greatest mysteries， a revolutionary about whom the world knows nothing apart from the words he wrote and the rumors that swirl around him.

The readers： Jennifer and Eric， a college senior and a disgraced grad student， both facing crucial decisions about who they are， who they might become， and how much they're willing to trust another person with their passions， hurts， and fears.

S.， conceived by filmmaker J. J. Abrams and written by award-winning novelist Doug Dorst， is the chronicle of two readers finding each other in the margins of a book and enmeshing themselves in a deadly struggle between forces they don't understand， and it is also Abrams and Dorst's love letter to the written word.

精彩書評

"The best-looking book I've ever seen. . . . The book is so perfectly realized that it's easy to fall under its spell. . . . If you want to write a romantic mystery meta-novel in which two bibliophiles investigate the conspiracy around an enigmatic Eastern European author， you couldn't choose a better team." --Joshua Rothan， New Yorker，"Impressively smart， engaging . . . Filled with secrets and stories that are endlessly beguiling and inviting . . . Reading S.， and trying to decode everything [was] an incredibly enjoyable， fun experience， as well as a particularly immersive one. . . . For all its mysteries and intrigues， this is a book about the value of books， and what they can offer us that other storytelling mediums cannot." --Wired，"S. is gorgeous， a masterpiece of verisimilitude. . . . The book's spiritual cousin is A.S. Byatt's Possession. . . . The brilliance of S. is less in its showy exterior than the intimate and ingeniously visual way it shows how others' words become pathways to our lives and relationships." --Washington Post，"Both as literature and as a physical object， S. is a profound and tremendous work of art. . . . Brilliantly conceived and perfectly executed， the book harkens back to a golden age of storytelling. . . . An audacious literary achievement that calls to mind Vladimir Nabokov's Pale Fire， Chris Ware's Building Stories and even Charles Portis' Masters of Atlantis." --Miami Herald，"Reading S. is fun， and the book feels alive . . . Gloriously embroidered with marginalia and jammed with artifacts inserted between its pages . . . A celebration of the book as a physical thing." --Chicago Tribune，"Both as literature and as a physical object， S. is a profound and tremendous work of art."—The Miami Herald

前言/序言

《時間的褶皺與身份的迷思：一部關於連續性與本質的哲學探險》 書籍信息： 書名： 暫定：《時間的褶皺與身份的迷思》 主題領域： 哲學、形而上學、認知科學、古典文獻研究 目標讀者： 對本體論、自我認知、時間流逝的本質有深刻興趣的讀者，以及哲學、曆史學、文學研究領域的學者和學生。 --- 內容簡介 《時間的褶皺與身份的迷思》並非一本關於具體航海故事的記錄，而是一次對人類思維中最深刻、最經久不衰的形而上學睏境的全麵梳理與深度剖析。本書聚焦於一個貫穿東西方思想史的核心命題：在持續的變化之中，事物如何保持其同一性（Identity）？ 這一命題以“忒修斯之船”（Ship of Theseus）的經典悖論為引綫，展開瞭一場對物質性、記憶、意識以及存在本質的係統性探索。 本書的敘事結構是多維度的。它首先將讀者帶入古代哲學的殿堂，追溯亞裏士多德對“形式”與“質料”的區分，探討柏拉圖“理型論”如何試圖為永恒的本質尋找錨點。通過對這些古典根基的審視，作者清晰地勾勒齣“同一性”問題的早期形態——即如何區分一個對象在時間洪流中是否仍是“它自己”。 隨後，敘事轉嚮對現代科學與哲學交叉領域的挖掘。書中用大量的篇幅探討瞭“身份的連續性”在物理學中的體現。我們審視瞭關於物質更替的原子論觀點，以及熱力學第二定律對“有序性”和“結構穩定性”的挑戰。一個復雜係統的每一個組成部分都在不斷衰變和替換，那麼，支撐這個係統作為一個獨立實體的內在“結構”或“信息”是否比其構成材料更具本體論上的優先權？本書深入探討瞭這一核心衝突。 在人類心智層麵，作者引入瞭關於“自我”的哲學辯論。如果忒修斯之船的木闆被替換殆盡，那麼船隻的身份是否取決於其外部的連續性敘事（即航海日誌或社會認知），還是取決於內部的某種“靈魂”或“核心原則”？本書對洛剋（Locke）的記憶連續性理論進行瞭批判性重構，並引入瞭當代神經科學關於記憶的編碼、提取與遺忘的研究成果。我們探討瞭：如果記憶是構建個人身份的基石，那麼隨著記憶的模糊、重塑甚至丟失，個體身份的“同一性”是否也隨之瓦解？ 《時間的褶皺與身份的迷思》的一大特色在於其跨文化的視野。書中將西方關於不變性（Immutability）的追求與東方哲學中關於“無常”（Anicca）和“流動”（Flux）的深刻洞察並置對比。例如，對佛教“五蘊”（Skandhas）理論的深入解析，揭示瞭其如何從根本上解構瞭對一個固定、實體化自我的執著，從而提供瞭一種與西方形而上學截然不同的應對“變化”的框架。 全書的論述層層遞進，從具體可感的物理對象（船隻、房屋）的同一性問題，逐步推導至抽象的概念實體（如機構、法律、民族文化）的持久性難題。作者提齣瞭一個富有啓發性的觀點：身份的維持，或許並非依賴於任何單一的、可識彆的“本質屬性”，而更像是一個“過程的整閤”——一個由物質更替、信息繼承、功能延續和敘事重述共同編織而成的動態平衡。 在結論部分，本書並沒有提供一個簡單明瞭的答案，而是旨在為讀者提供一套更為精細的分析工具，去審視他們自身以及他們所處的世界中的“恒定性”幻象。閱讀本書，將是一場對你固有認知的挑戰，迫使你重新定義：什麼纔是真正“存在”之物？ 這種對連續性與變化之間張力的深刻反思，將為理解藝術品的修復、法律的繼承、生命的循環，乃至宇宙的終極命運，提供一個堅實而富有彈性的哲學基礎。 本書的語言風格嚴謹而富有文學性，復雜概念的闡述輔以清晰的邏輯推演和引人深思的案例分析，確保瞭其學術深度與可讀性的完美結閤。它邀請每一位讀者，共同參與這場橫跨兩韆多年曆史的、關於“我是誰，我如何成為我”的終極哲學對話。
