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.
最近读《知识大通融》,看到 “博物学也由此被确认为真正的科学”这句话时,突然一愣,先是觉得这个认定可能有问题,然后想去反驳的时候又发现,对于到底什么是科学我也一直没个概念。所以我就上网查了查,结果五花八门的回答反而让我更加疑惑了。 百度百科对科学的定义是“分...
評分 評分文/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...
評分《论契合——知识的统合》我认为是一本高层次的跨领域大作! 《论契合》的三联中译本争议颇多;然而好书就是不会被埋没,哪怕是蹩脚的翻译,我还是因此从阅读中译本当中收益良多!这不得不佩服自己的这点“从垃圾中找黄金”的能耐了!呵呵! 话说回来,为了汲取原书的精华及真...
評分這本書值得欣賞。intellectual mastery要求太高瞭暫且不提EOW數學真的差啊。樸素的閱讀心得如下:知識本不應該人為劃分切割,由此帶來的狹隘會極大製約人的思維(很簡單的事情需要花費大把青春來理解) 作為個體我們需要奮力保持對人和世界的認知和觀察力以及健康的人格和情感。萬物靜觀皆自得,四時佳興與人同。看慣悲喜交加讓人寂寞..寂寞能讓人明朗通達,冷靜也不乏溫情.體會人性怡悅愛意流連..人的知識比所謂的專業知識更重要吧。
