看完了,末章催生了一股压抑与难受,难以排解。
评分如果一切都是人类想出来的,会让我对民主、公正、自由之类的词语感受不同吗?我想不会,因为“想”正是进化给予人类最珍贵的礼物之一,而“想”所创造的东西,哪怕不具备实体并且内涵如流沙般变动,也不因此而变得不重要。
评分A holistic view of evolution of human beings: looking at the past, we get to know where we came from; seeing the world around us now, we feel like we can make real changes; glimpse into the future, we ask ourselves where we are heading to. The answer is unknown, that is the most scary part.
评分intriguing&inspiring
评分此书采用“大历史”的写法,避开具体的历史事件和历史人物,直接剖析人类各发展阶段的本质,“惊人”结论应接不暇,不少读者高呼过瘾。但近年来不断走俏的大历史类图书往往容易犯以偏概全的错误,只顾着抛结论、上概念,举例论证仅仅走个形式。比如本书论证农业时代的人类不如采集者生活幸福,比如把个人主义描述为国家和市场摧毁家庭和社群的“第五纵队”等。此书另一大特色是紧紧抓住“虚构”这个概念不放,全书所有观点都从中生发,显得高度统一、立场鲜明。虽然人类认知革命始于虚构能力的观点并非作者原创,但此书贵在一以贯之。从认知革命到想象的秩序,再到各种宗教,最后是想象的共同体,作者始终用“虚构”这个元素解释人类各个阶段的发展变化,形成完整的逻辑链条,成为本书利用大量惊人结论发动攻势之外征服读者的另一个原因。
'I encourage all of us, whatever our beliefs, to question the basic narratives of our world, to connect past developments with present concerns, and not to be afraid of controversial issues.' Dr Yuval Noah Harari has a PhD in History from the University of Oxford and now lectures at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, specialising in World History. His research focuses on broad questions, such as: What is the relation between history and biology? Is there justice in history? Did people become happier as history unfolded? 65,000 people have signed up to his online course, A Brief History of Humankind. Sapiens is an international bestseller and is being published in more than 30 languages worldwide. In 2012 Harari was awarded the annual Polonsky Prize for Creativity and Originality in the Humanistic Disciplines.
This is The Sunday Times Bestseller. Planet Earth is 4.5 billion years old. In just a fraction of that time, one species among countless others has conquered it. Us. We are the most advanced and most destructive animals ever to have lived. What makes us brilliant? What makes us deadly? What makes us Sapiens? In this bold and provocative book, Yuval Noah Harari explores who we are, how we got here and where we're going. Sapiens is a thrilling account of humankind's extraordinary history - from the Stone Age to the Silicon Age - and our journey from insignificant apes to rulers of the world. "It tackles the biggest questions of history and of the modern world, and it is written in unforgettably vivid language. You will love it!" (Jared Diamond, author of Guns, Germs and Steel).
文/曼佳 最近一直被人推荐《人类简史》这本书,一个70后的以色列历史学家写的风靡全球的著作。全书讲的是人类的故事,从历史又是从哲学的角度,讲述人从生物学的起源是什么样的,从宇宙的哪里来,要到未来的哪里去的故事,这样的书,是要很安静的环境和很安静的心才能好好读完...
评分以色列40岁的年轻学者的专著,博学而见解独到。我还从没有读过这样的研究人类历史的书,抛开了过去的所有讲述历史的概念与框架,从7亿年前起,“智人” 通过“认知革命”、“农业革命”、“工业革命”、“科学革命”而成为地球上唯一的、最大的宿主;通过金钱、帝国、宗教建立...
