Blinkist扫过。本来还想去读原著,现在看来是不必了,主旨比较简单,相信那么长的书里应该用了很多作证来证明启蒙运动的影响力,让我们迎来了目前人类历史上技术最先进,物质条件最好的时代,更长的寿命,更健康,更高的生存率,减少(人权)上的不平等,降低暴力提升安全。现在的媒体把这个时代展现得很糟糕且会越来越糟,反智主义和民粹主义盛行。但启蒙思想仍然是未来的路:Reason, Science, Humanism, Progress. 感觉有点鸡汤。即使在当下,我们的启蒙又在哪里呢?会有吗?
评分跟理性乐观派属于同一类型。白左进步人士自嗨的布道书。
评分Pinker 怒了
评分有些书难读,但是读下来还是能学到一些东西,所以还是值得。这本书文字流畅,但是看完没觉得有什么收获,最多算鸡汤,太长,所以是特大的一锅鸡汤!作者对现状太乐观,数据的选择让人生疑。以后盖茨推荐的书要等一段时间再读,水分太多。
评分比上一本angels容易懂的多????
Steven Pinker is the Harvard College Professor of Psychology at Harvard University. A two-time Pulitzer Prize finalist and the winner of many awards for his research, teaching, and books, he has been named one of Time‘s 100 Most Influential People and one of Foreign Policy‘s 100 Leading Global Thinkers. His books include The Stuff of Thought, The Better Angels of Our Nature, The Blank Slate, and The Sense of Style.
The follow-up to Pinker’s groundbreaking The Better Angels of Our Nature presents the big picture of human progress: people are living longer, healthier, freer, and happier lives, and while our problems are formidable, the solutions lie in the Enlightenment ideal of using reason and science.
Is the world really falling apart? Is the ideal of progress obsolete? In this elegant assessment of the human condition in the third millennium, cognitive scientist and public intellectual Steven Pinker urges us to step back from the gory headlines and prophecies of doom, which play to our psychological biases. Instead, follow the data: In seventy-five jaw-dropping graphs, Pinker shows that life, health, prosperity, safety, peace, knowledge, and happiness are on the rise, not just in the West, but worldwide. This progress is not the result of some cosmic force. It is a gift of the Enlightenment: the conviction that reason and science can enhance human flourishing.
Far from being a naïve hope, the Enlightenment, we now know, has worked. But more than ever, it needs a vigorous defense. The Enlightenment project swims against currents of human nature–tribalism, authoritarianism, demonization, magical thinking–which demagogues are all too willing to exploit. Many commentators, committed to political, religious, or romantic ideologies, fight a rearguard action against it. The result is a corrosive fatalism and a willingness to wreck the precious institutions of liberal democracy and global cooperation.
With intellectual depth and literary flair, Enlightenment Now makes the case for reason, science, and humanism: the ideals we need to confront our problems and continue our progress.
断断续续用了很长时间地翻看完,我对这本书的感情真的复杂至极。一方面在翻看的这些日子我知道很多糟糕透顶的事,而这本书绝大部分用各种主题描绘着“进步的当下”,可这丝毫没有平息我的愤怒和难过,徒增不耐烦罢了;另一方面我想我是明白作者所提倡的启蒙,我也接受用理性和...
评分平克的新书《当下的启蒙》里,一个主要的结论就是,从许多层面来看,我们的世界都真的变好了。 平克引用了大量数据,从16个方面,详细地剖析了这个世界的进步趋势。 比如说,从人类生存的基础层面来看,全球人均寿命从19世纪中期的30岁,增长到了现在的70岁;医疗卫生条件大幅...
评分一 我记得有一个称呼,叫“文科傻妞”。意思是,这些妞缺乏最基本的逻辑思维能力。这刚好对应最近有一个人表示,是那些文科生没有思考能力被人忽悠支持香港。很不幸,我现在搞社会学,也是一个文科傻X,但是不是妞。我忍不住停下来想,我是一个男的和女的有什么区别?无异,平...
评分我们出生在一个无情的宇宙中,以极低的概率对抗着令生命成为可能的秩序,还持续面临着一切土崩瓦解的危险。我们被一种残酷竞争的力量所塑造。我们这根曲木造出来的东西,容易受到幻觉和自我中心意识的伤害,有时甚至愚蠢到令人吃惊的地步。 然而,人类的天性也被赐予了许多资源...
评分尚未启蒙的思考 斯蒂芬·平克令人尴尬的新书不过是一篇写给慌乱中的自由主义者的孱弱布道词 译者的话 《今日的启蒙》(Enlightenment Now: The Case for Reason, Science, Humanism, and Progress) 是当代著名认知科学家和公共知识分子,哈佛大学教授斯蒂芬·平克(Steven Pin...
