Arnold J Toynbee was a historian whose 12-volume A Study of History had a huge impact on the thinking of his day. This epic, multi-volume work offered a grand synthesis of world history from the global perspective of the rise and fall of civilizations, rather than concentrating on the history of nation-states or of ethnic groups. For Time magazine Toynbee was 'an international sage' and certainly in the same bracket as 'Einstein, Schweitzer or Bertrand Russell'. Daisaku Ikeda is a figure of global stature, the spiritual leader of a worldwide lay Buddhist organisation devoted to the promotion of education, culture and peace. Between 1971 and 1974 Toynbee and Ikeda discussed many of the vital issues which confronted their societies in the early 1970s, all of which remain current and significant. Indeed, topics such as the problems of pollution, dwindling natural resources, conflict and war, the role of religion, and population growth, are even more pressing than they were thirty years ago. In this volume - which still reads as freshly as it did whenit was first published, and which is now reissued for a new generation of readers - the inspiring challenge issued by both men is framed as follows: will humankind choose to salvage its destiny by a revolution in thinking and morals? Or will disaster ensue if it pursues its present course towards self-destruction and the despoliation of the environment? While recognising that our survival is threatened by the imbalance between human immaturity and technological achievement, the optimistic message of this classic Dialogue is that man-made evils have a man-made cure.

Will disaster ensue if it pursues its present course towards self-destruction and despoliation of the environment?

中文版的书名严重误导了我, 我开始以为是什么烂书呢! 从图书馆借来的, 一翻,哇塞! 差点被书名误导了。 其实这本书所涉猎的范围是如此之广之深! 补充,英文版书名是《choose life》(对生命的选择)。 好书, 不知道有没有新版, 书的文字看起来稍微有点累, 建议应该...

本科时哲学老师推荐给我的第一本书,从书里了解了两位极富社会责任感的公共知识分子所关注的话题以及他们对这些问题的看法。不能不说他们讨论的范围已基本涵盖了作为一个人所需要和应当思考的多数问题,关于终极问题也有很多充满智慧的探讨。一个东方大乘佛教的代表,一个西方...

一直很敬仰汤因比,因为他有很宏观的看待历史的方式。知道有这本书就很有看的冲动,看了之后发现和他的其他著作很不同,在这里就像两个邻居平平淡淡的聊着,没有豪言壮语,但是充满智慧。
