评分Simply but clearly stated...pretty interesting and useful
当一位跟他一道研究社会心理学和逻辑推理问题的中国学生有一天说了这样一段话时,他深感震惊:“你知道,你我之间的差别在于我认为世界是一个圆圈,而你认为它是一条直线。中国人相信世界是在不断变化的,但事物总是不断地回到其先前的状态。他们关注许多现象,寻找事物之间的关系,他们认为不能了解整体你就不能理解局部。西方人生活的世界较为简单、明确。他们把注意力放在突出的物体或人上,而不是更全面的现象上。他们认为他们可以控制事件的发生,因为他们了解支配事物行为的规律。”
From Publishers Weekly
This book may mark the beginning of a new front in the science wars. Nisbett, an eminent psychologist and co-author of a seminal Psychological Review paper on how people talk about their decision making, reports on some of his latest work in cultural psychology. He contends that "[h]uman cognition is not everywhere the same"-that those brought up in Western and East Asian cultures think differently from one another in scientifically measurable ways. Such a contention pits his work squarely against evolutionary psychology (as articulated by Steven Pinker and others) and cognitive science, which assume all appreciable human characteristics are "hard wired." Initial chapters lay out the traditional differences between Aristotle and Confucius, and the social practices that produced (and have grown out of) these differing "homeostatic approaches" to the world: Westerners tend to inculcate individualism and choice (40 breakfast cereals at the supermarket), while East Asians are oriented toward group relations and obligations ("the tall poppy is cut down" remains a popular Chinese aphorism). Next, Nisbett presents his actual experiments and data, many of which measure reaction times in recalling previously shown objects. They seem to show East Asians (a term Nisbett uses as a catch-all for Chinese, Koreans, Japanese and others) measurably more holistic in their perceptions (taking in whole scenes rather than a few stand-out objects). Westerners, or those brought up in Northern European and Anglo-Saxon-descended cultures, have a "tunnel-vision perceptual style" that focuses much more on identifying what's prominent in certain scenes and remembering it. Writing dispassionately yet with engagement, Nisbett explains the differences as "an inevitable consequence of using different tools to understand the world." If his explanation turns out to be generally accepted, it means a big victory for memes in their struggle with genes.
From Scientific American
Nisbett, a psychologist and Distinguished University Professor at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, used to believe that "all human groups perceive and reason in the same way." A series of events and studies led him gradually to quite another view, that Asians and Westerners "have maintained very different systems of thought for thousands of years." Different how? "The collective or interdependent nature of Asian society is consistent with Asians' broad, contextual view of the world and their belief that events are highly complex and determined by many factors. The individualistic or independent nature of Western society seems consistent with the Western focus on particular objects in isolation from their context and with Westerners' belief that they can know the rules governing objects and therefore can control the objects' behavior." Nisbett explores areas that manifest these different approaches--among them medicine, law, science, human rights and international relations. Are the societal differences so great that they will lead to conflict? Nisbett thinks not. "I believe the twain shall meet by virtue of each moving in the direction of the other."
章节的标题是问题的形式,但是内容却并没有给出答案,甚至毫无联系 比如“为什么我们拿不到诺贝尔奖”这一章,我没有看出任何跟诺奖有关的信息。 但是,这都无所谓,标题什么只是形式而已,作者的观点还是很值得一看的。建议认真看下前三章,后面几章的结论你自己就可以推断出...
评分为什么西方人见木,东方人见森?东西方思维差异的原因何在?这本书试图回答这些问题. 匆匆读完前两章,我就断定这是一本不可多得的好书! 其中启发最大的是,东西方思维方式的差异在于社会经济环境与社会实践的不同。但从中我得到的最大启发是:中国为什么多中央极权?是否和...
评分这本书不长,却不是很好读,需要费点脑子。 从小到大没有接触过正统的西方教育,从小都被教育要用联系的观点看问题,特别是中国大兴特兴的唯物主义辩证法,更悬的老子的“道”,“易经”,八卦等等。本书系统的分析了中西方思维差异的背景、原因和具体表现,很多都是通过严谨的...
评分 评分昨天翻了翻阎老师极力推荐的《思维版图》,文中的理念似曾相识,后来想起是旅游卫视有一档叫做“国学堂”的栏目,其中有一期就是介绍东西方的思维方式的差异的。那个主持人叫梁冬,嘉宾叫?汉,姓什么不记得了。他就是说东西方的人在思维方式上的差别源自生活方式的不同,中国...
