你該殺死那個胖子嗎? 為了多數人幸福而犧牲少數人權益是對的嗎? 我們今日該如何看待道德哲學的經典難題 (Would You Kill the Fat Man?)

榮獲美國專業與學術傑出哲學出版獎（The PROSE awards）

道德哲學是在我們的日常生活中最常遇見的哲學。小至欺騙撒謊、大至殺人放火，我們不斷用心中那把尺檢視自己與他人，但那把尺卻不會始終如一，甚至有時還會自我矛盾，這把尺究竟該長什麼樣子，正是道德哲學家苦心孤詣想找出來的。

大衛‧愛德蒙茲在本書中從一個倫理學中著名的思想實驗「電車難題」出發，不僅用饒富趣味的生動文字討論電車難題的源流以及種種變形，更介紹近十年來社會學、心理學、神經科學等對電車困境的熱情與解釋。因為這個看似極端的「一或五」情境，背後代表了生活中大大小小的道德選擇，愛德蒙茲用各種精彩的真實案例來挑戰我們的道德直覺，更試圖在許多哲學家絞盡腦汁想出的電車場景中，讓我們不禁反思這個大哉問：道德到底是什麼？我到底該怎麼做才是對的？

Professor Stephen Hawking is one of the most famous and remarkable scientists of our age and author of the scientific bestseller "A Brief History of Time", which sold over 25 million copies across the world and will be adapted as a children's book in the Autumn of next year. In this compelling memoir his first wife, Jane Hawking, relates the inside story of their extraordinary marriage. As Stephen's academic renown soared, his body was collapsing under the assaults of motor neurone disease, and Jane's candid account of trying to balance his 24-hour care with the needs of their growing family will be inspirational to anyone dealing with family illness. The inner-strength of the author, and the self-evident character and achievements of her husband, make for an incredible tale that is always presented with unflinching honesty; the author's candour is no less evident when the marriage finally ends in a high-profile meltdown, with Stephen leaving Jane for one of his nurses, while Jane goes on to marry an old family friend. In this exceptionally open, moving and often funny memoir, Jane Hawking confronts not only the acutely complicated and painful dilemmas of her first marriage, but also the faultlines exposed in a relationship by the pervasive effects of fame and wealth. The result is a book about optimism, love and change that will resonate with readers everywhere.
