Pinker 怒瞭
評分有些書難讀,但是讀下來還是能學到一些東西,所以還是值得。這本書文字流暢,但是看完沒覺得有什麼收獲,最多算雞湯,太長,所以是特大的一鍋雞湯!作者對現狀太樂觀,數據的選擇讓人生疑。以後蓋茨推薦的書要等一段時間再讀,水分太多。

評分框架略失望(基本就是《理性樂觀派》加《無窮的開始》;細節閃光點很多,幾乎每一節都是一篇短論文;雖然篇幅巨長,但幾乎沒有廢話;平剋文筆的確是好啊,全書最後一段總結陳詞看得腎上腺素飆齣來。
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.
号称当代最伟大思想家,其实我不知道伟大在哪,但这本书确实是不错的好书。 此书为理性、科学、人文主义和进步辩护,整理了大量数据,论证了当前世界因理性、科学和人文主义取得了长足进步。比如:寿命延长、传染病得到有效控制、食物充足、财富增长、福利支出庞大、战争动乱减...
評分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...
評分文/宝木笑 最近,我们每个人最关注的事情就是疫情,我们每天祈祷那些数字能够降下来,我们为那些勇敢的逆行者和正在承受苦难的同胞泪目,我们力所能及地去做支持自己同胞的事情,我们也防护好自己和家人,除了购买生活必需品,我们都宅在家里。宅在家里的日子除了看书,也会看...
評分书名中的“启蒙”,指的是启蒙运动的启蒙。作者指出,当前西方的反启蒙运动比较盛行,一个表现是民粹主义,他们反对理性、科学,认为世界在变糟糕,科学走的太快了,需要停下来反思。 作者对反启蒙运动给出了有力的反驳,用许多图表和数据证明世界在变好,理性和科学会让世界变...
評分从进化心理学的角度,人总是更关注于潜在的危险远胜于可获得的收益。害怕眼前的痛苦,远胜于未来的欢娱。喜欢眼前的就能收获的果实,而不想得到未来更多的财富。失去的痛苦,远胜于得到的快乐。 凡是注重于危险,关注于当下的问题的人,才能更好的生存到现在。 譬如说,你注意...
