The biologist Edward O. Wilson is a rare scientist: having over a long career made signal contributions to population genetics, evolutionary biology, entomology, and ethology, he has also steeped himself in philosophy, the humanities, and the social sciences.
An enormous intellectual adventure. In this groundbreaking new book, the American biologist Edward O. Wilson, considered to be one of the world's greatest living scientists, argues for the fundamental unity of all knowledge and the need to search for consilience--the proof that everything in our world is organized in terms of a small number of fundamental natural laws that comprise the principles underlying every branch of learning. Professor Wilson, the pioneer of sociobiology and biodiversity, now once again breaks out of the conventions of current thinking. He shows how and why our explosive rise in intellectual mastery of the truths of our universe has its roots in the ancient Greek concept of an intrinsic orderliness that governs our cosmos and the human species--a vision that found its apogee in the Age of Enlightenment, then gradually was lost in the increasing fragmentation and specialization of knowledge in the last two centuries. Drawing on the physical sciences and biology, anthropology, psychology, religion, philosophy, and the arts, Professor Wilson shows why the goals of the original Enlightenment are surging back to life, why they are reappearing on the very frontiers of science and humanistic scholarship, and how they are beginning to sketch themselves as the blueprint of our world as it most profoundly, elegantly, and excitingly is.
《知识大融通》,美国哈佛大学生物学教授爱华德・威尔森写于一九九八年的颇富企图心的著作,让他从昆虫学家跃上当代思想家的地位。少有科学家胆敢尝试步出他们终身钻研的狭窄专业领域,涉入其他较陌生的学术领域。威尔森教授却不然。他从蚂蚁分类学的专业小领域,一次次开拓...
评分读书笔记401:知识大融通 对于学科的细分,老先生提出了反对意见。他更认同启蒙时代学者们的观点,他相信所有学科,无论是社会科学还是自然科学,文化艺术都是共同的,可以融合的。以前的学者试图去找寻那个终极,而现在,老先生调侃了当今的学术界。 成书其实挺早上个世纪末期...

评分文/郑渝川 在美国科学家爱德华•威尔逊看来,在信息爆炸、知识过载的时代,要谨防科学发展失却伦理规范和导向,避免在技术创新和大潮中丢弃人类最为宝贵的品质和道德,同样也要防止抛弃科学,因为困惑而拥抱神秘主义甚至重归蒙昧。 长期以来,在普通人眼里,科学界实现的...
《社会生物学》作者又一扛鼎之作
评分这本书值得欣赏。intellectual mastery要求太高了暂且不提EOW数学真的差啊。朴素的阅读心得如下:知识本不应该人为划分切割,由此带来的狭隘会极大制约人的思维(很简单的事情需要花费大把青春来理解) 作为个体我们需要奋力保持对人和世界的认知和观察力以及健康的人格和情感。万物静观皆自得,四时佳兴与人同。看惯悲喜交加让人寂寞..寂寞能让人明朗通达,冷静也不乏温情.体会人性怡悦爱意流连..人的知识比所谓的专业知识更重要吧。
