From John Locke to Sigmund Freud, philosophers and psychologists have long believed that we begin life as blank moral slates. Many of us take for granted that babies are born selfish and that it is the role of society—and especially parents—to transform them from little sociopaths into civilized beings. In Just Babies, Paul Bloom argues that humans are in fact hardwired with a sense of morality. Drawing on groundbreaking research at Yale, Bloom demonstrates that, even before they can speak or walk, babies judge the goodness and badness of others’ actions; feel empathy and compassion; act to soothe those in distress; and have a rudimentary sense of justice.

Still, this innate morality is limited, sometimes tragically. We are naturally hostile to strangers, prone to parochialism and bigotry. Bringing together insights from psychology, behavioral economics, evolutionary biology, and philosophy, Bloom explores how we have come to surpass these limitations. Along the way, he examines the morality of chimpanzees, violent psychopaths, religious extremists, and Ivy League professors, and explores our often puzzling moral feelings about sex, politics, religion, and race.

In his analysis of the morality of children and adults, Bloom rejects the fashionable view that our moral decisions are driven mainly by gut feelings and unconscious biases. Just as reason has driven our great scientific discoveries, he argues, it is reason and deliberation that makes possible our moral discoveries, such as the wrongness of slavery. Ultimately, it is through our imagination, our compassion, and our uniquely human capacity for rational thought that we can transcend the primitive sense of morality we were born with, becoming more than just babies.

Paul Bloom has a gift for bringing abstract ideas to life, moving seamlessly from Darwin, Herodotus, and Adam Smith to The Princess Bride, Hannibal Lecter, and Louis C.K. Vivid, witty, and intellectually probing, Just Babies offers a radical new perspective on our moral lives.

读后感

对比一下各种学科,发现自然科学与技术在单个问题上的理论最少,对于人类已知的问题往往一个理论就解释了,接下来是社会科学,在接下来是人文艺术。离人越近的问题,越是人产生的问题,人们越容易随意解释乃至胡说八道,产生公说公有理,婆说婆有理的情况。很高兴看到越来越多...

书写得非常好,有科学、有思辨、有故事、有实验、有理论,最重要的是还有情怀。 保罗是那种会讲,也会写,但又不修边幅的老师,还有点冷幽默。 在这本书里你能看到他不断的发展自己,从研究快感是如何起作用的,到儿童的认知,再到道德心理学,我发现很多认知心理学家,都在...

【曾小媛读书营·一年100本】14-善恶之源 人生来既有善也有恶,关键在于社会环境、教育、自我发展等等对善恶的教化程度,才让人分化出了好人与坏人。 当我们面对他人给予我们的恶时,大部分人会选择等待时机报复回去,也包括我,因为我们不是圣人,也并非佛祖。佛常说放下屠刀...

我们都有这种经历,当我们看一部电视剧时,经常渴望男女主角有个圆满的结局,对于电影的反派有时恨之入骨。这种体验在阅读小说、观看电影甚至在听人们讲故事时都有类似的体验。事实证明,我们渴望美好、善良,憎恶自私、邪恶和残暴。一面为善,一面为恶,善恶往往一念之间。 说...

9.心理学+道德哲学实在是很有意思啊 讲了很多很多实验 以至于后30%都是引用 大概是读的最有意思的学术书了

评分

差不多是这位教授在Coursera上课程的transcript,所以这书又臭又长又无聊,啰嗦得不行,还不如去看视频

评分

基本上拓展了课上讲的,中亚很便宜

评分

某种意义上更像是对Haidt Moral Foundation Theory 的补充本,直到最后一章作者强调reason的重要性时才让我片刻跳脱了这个想法。内容比标题所表达的更为广泛。

评分

(2013.66)相似的题材,《公正》让我充满了疑问,这本书倒是给了我很多答案。但Paul Broom自己也说,心理学研究的是人们认为什么行为是对的,但哲学研究的是什么行为真正是对的。各种进化心理学的发现非常有趣(以致于全书的30%都是Notes……),作者的写作风格(还有讲课)风格也无法更加喜爱~ 非常推荐读呀~
